There seems to be small, short term effect on renal survival - so you get a few months off dialysis
No mortality effect etc
Figure 1 (A) Twitter polls from the start of the 2 Tweetchats depicting various clinical scenarios when PLEX could be used. (B) The author’s response to the Twitter polls, clarifying and adding context why the crowd-sourced polling result was wrong. AAV, antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis; DAH, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage; ESKD, end-stage kidney disease; PLEX, plasma exchange; RPGN, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis; SCr, serum creatinine; SGLT2i, sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor.

A meta-analysis (ca. 2022) from @lastwalsh.bsky.social has confirmed a reduction of kidney failure risk at 12 months w/ PLEX [RR 0.62 (0.39-0.98)], but at a concomitant increase in the risk of serious infections [RR 1.27 (1.08-1.49)]

Any specific reason to use ceftazidime here...is it based on culture?
One more thing sometimes...PD nurse might have added a combination one instead of plain ceftazidime like tazobactum or avibactum
