What is white blood cell removal?

Also known as: leukocytapheresis.

With some medical conditions such as leukemia, the body may produce too many white blood cells, and they need to be removed from the body. The process of collecting these white blood cells and removing them from the bloodstream is known as white blood cell removal.
