A treatment that cleanses the blood in your veins.
DFPP stands for “Double filtration plasmapheresis”.
DFPP is a state-of-the-art technology designed to filter unwanted substances from the blood based on Precision Medicine. This advanced method is specifically designed to efficiently purify blood to help improve patient health and well-being.
Through this technology, which selectively removes toxic substances and metabolites in blood plasma, you just receives your own “cleaned” blood back. Now, you can prevent or treat diseases that can occur due to aging.
The total length of blood vessels in the human body is 125,000 km, which is enough to circle the Earth three times. If bad substances such as cholesterol, neutral fat, oxygen radicals, and heavy metals increase in the blood vessels, it reduces the ability to excrete waste products and becomes the main cause of chronic diseases and aging. DFPP is a treatment that purifies and purifies your blood.
If you have a serious condition, you can use your country’s health insurance system. However, it is an optional treatment for initial or preventive purposes. Preventive management of the disease at an early stage is required to prevent complications and be effective. CellUp Med doctors first perform DFPP depending on the patient’s health status to achieve synergy in stem cell treatment. Contact our team doctor for more details.
Hypertriglyceride-associated events (acute pancreatitis, progression of cardiovascular complications) in the observation period before and with DFPP; n=10).
DFPP uses a membrane-type plasma separator to separate plasma from blood and passes it through a secondary filtration membrane to remove pathogen-related substances present in the plasma. Substances that cannot pass through the secondary filtration membrane are removed, and those that can pass are returned to the body.
An aqueous albumin solution is replenished to prevent hypoalbuminemia (a condition in which albumin, a protein present in the blood, is lower than normal).
Treatment time is approximately 2-3 hours. A nurse and a clinical engineer will be stationed in your room at all times. You can receive the treatment with peace of mind.
Insert one needle in each arm. The needle used is about 2 diameters thicker than the needle used to administer the intravenous drip. Blood is removed from one arm (suction of blood) and blood is pumped from the other arm (blood is returned).
Purifies the blood. The amount of blood circulating during blood purification is approximately 4,000 to 5,000 ml. The amount of plasma to be purified is planned to be 1,500 ml for men and 1,200 to 1,300 ml for women. This condition varies depending on age and weight.
stops the bleeding Once the bleeding has sufficiently stopped, you can go home immediately. Please take sufficient nutrition and fluids after treatment. You may take a bath after your treatment, but please refrain from strenuous exercise.
Dialysis is a treatment for people with kidney failure, but at our hospital, it is effective in preventing arteriosclerosis, myocardial infarction, and cerebral infarction by removing triglycerides and LDL (bad cholesterol).
Blood, which accounts for approximately 8% of a human’s body weight, will be used to prepare 1,500 ml of blood for men and 1,200 to 1,300 ml for women. This condition varies depending on age and weight.
In rare cases, a drop in blood pressure and discomfort may occur.
There have been no reports of severe side effects from this treatment.
Please try it for about 2-3 hours.
Since needles are inserted into both arms, you will generally not be able to move during the treatment, but you will be able to watch movies on Netflix/TV during the treatment.
Plasmatherapeutic procedures have been performed for the first time at the beginning of the 20th century and their application becomes really active during the 70’s all over the world.
The first plasmapheresis was performed in Russia in 1913 by Yurevitch and Rosenberg to demonstrate the concept of “ … washing the blood outside the body …”. It consisted in extracting a portion of the rabbits blood which was then centrifuged to separate the red blood cells. These were then mixed to normal saline which was heated before being reinjected to the rabbits.
However the term plasmapheresis was defined by Pr John Abel in USA in 1914, combining two terms :
• Plasma: liquid part of the blood
• Aphaeresis: In Greek “removal”
Thus, plasmapheresis was totally defined as a method of removal of plasma from an organism.
Unfortunately the First World War began which stopped the experiments and this technical approach was forgotten for a few decades.
In 1944, the Swedish physician Jan G. Waldenström described a case of Macroglobulinemia with symptoms of increased blood viscosity.
In 1955, he performed effective plasmapheresis procedures on a patient with macroglobulinemia and noted an effective reduction of macroglobulin in the blood.
In 1963, several procedures were successfully performed on patients with Waldenström illness (Macroglobulinemia with high blood viscosity) which can be considered as the start of a regular application of plasmapheresis to a human disease.
Plasmapheresis is regularly performed in many countries since the 70’s with approximately 1000 procedures in England, 6200 in France and later in the 80’s with 50 000 procedures per year in the USA.
Today the term plasmapheresis includes different techniques (filtration or adsorption on plasma), which remove not all but only specific elements contained in the plasma, and altogether allow to treat a large number of diseases.
