Plasmapheresis, immunoadsorption and related procedures: Double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP): Without cryofiltration: 3 double filtration plasmaphereses

Certain substances have been removed from your blood plasma more than once.

Blood is made up of a liquid part and different blood cells, among other things. The liquid part of the blood is also called blood plasma. Blood plasma is made up of water, among other things. Blood plasma carries nutrients and endogenous substances, such as messenger substances. With some disorders, certain substances in the blood plasma are changed, or there are too many of them. Substances like these include blood fats and certain proteins. Then the blood plasma can be cleansed in order to remove these substances from the body.

To cleanse your blood plasma your blood was routed through a tube to a special machine. This machine separates the blood into the blood plasma and the blood cells. A special filter was then used to remove certain substances from your blood plasma. Then the remaining blood cells, along with your purified blood plasma, were put back into your body.
