Z51.81: Apheresis
You have received a blood purification.
The blood is made up of various components. These components can be separated from each other with blood purification and removed from the body. For example, the blood can be purified from certain substances such as blood fats with blood purification. Sometimes we only need certain blood components such as red blood cells for another treatment. These can be obtained through a blood purification. The blood purification is carried out in a device outside of the body.
