===Other=== Some evidence indicates that [[plasmapheresis]] (therapeutic plasma exchange) can be used to treat the systemic form of scleroderma. In Italy, it is a government-approved treatment option. This is done by replacing [[blood plasma]] with a fluid consisting of [[albumin]], and is thought to keep the disease at bay by reducing the circulation of scleroderma autoantibodies.<ref>{{cite journal|title=Therapeutic plasma exchange for the treatment of systemic sclerosis: A comprehensive review and analysis|doi=10.1177/2397198318758606|year=2018|last1=Harris|last2=Meiselman|last3=Moriarty|last4=Metzger|last5=Malkovsky|first1=Edward|first2=Herbert|first3=Patrick|first4=Allan|first5=Miroslav|journal=Journal of Scleroderma and Related Disorders|volume=3|issue=2|pages=132β152|pmid=35382237 |pmc=8892860 |s2cid=79950781|doi-access=free}}</ref>
