Immunoadsorption with Staphylococcus protein A column is a blood purification therapy that eliminates pathogenic antibodies on the principle that Staphylococcus protein A can specifically bind to human immunoglobin G efficiently. At present, it has been safely applied to a variety of autoimmune diseases and organ transplantation rejection and other fields. It has been reported to have efficacy for a variety of immune diseases, comparable to traditional plasma exchange. This article provides a review of the application progress of this technology in different systemic diseases, providing a reference for selecting blood purification treatment modes for clinical treatment of related diseases.
