Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) Treatment
Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a treatment that cleanses the blood by filtering plasma, or the liquid portion of the blood. This method helps remove disease-causing substances from the body immediately, such as excess proteins, fats, toxins, antibodies, and inflammatory substances. When combined with medication, DFPP can help improve the condition more quickly, support faster recovery, and enhance the body’s healing process.
This treatment may be recommended for patients with conditions such as autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammation of the kidney blood vessels, plasma cell blood disorders or cancers, myasthenia gravis, spinal cord inflammation, blistering skin diseases that do not respond well to medication, and in cases of certain toxic substance exposure.
How DFPP Works
DFPP uses a special double-filter system to separate and remove only the harmful components in the plasma. This targeted approach helps reduce the loss of beneficial substances and can remove problematic substances more effectively than conventional plasma filtration methods. It is also considered to offer a higher level of safety compared with standard techniques.
