Journal of Clinical Apheresis (JCA)

The Journal of Clinical Apheresis is a specialized, peer-reviewed medical journal dedicated to the science and clinical application of apheresis therapies and related blood processing techniques. Established in 1982, the journal serves as the official publication of the American Society for Apheresis (ASFA) and disseminates cutting-edge research that spans both basic science and clinical practice in therapeutic plasma exchange, cytapheresis, therapeutic adsorption, stem cell collection, and other apheresis modalities. The journal’s scope covers mechanistic studies, clinical trials, case reports, outcome analyses, and concise reviews that deepen understanding of how apheresis impacts patient management in hematology, autoimmune disease, neurology, transplant medicine, and related fields. Topics include therapeutic plasma exchange in autoimmune syndromes, leukapheresis and red cell exchange in hematologic disorders, innovations in device technology, donor safety, quality control in apheresis centers, and ethical issues in therapy delivery. Its bimonthly publication schedule ensures timely sharing of important findings that influence both clinical protocols and research directions. Indexed in major biomedical databases including MEDLINE/PubMed and the Science Citation Index Expanded, the journal has become a key reference for clinicians, transfusion medicine specialists, apheresis practitioners, and researchers worldwide who seek evidence-based insights into optimizing apheresis outcomes and advancing the field.
