Haemoperfusion
Haemoperfusion
The modern, extracorporeal blood purification processes used at VitaSangius Therapy are proven to contribute to improving the metabolism, the immune system, organ functions and thus the quality of life. They are an effective instrument on the path to convalescence and recovery.
Blood purification processes are used for therapeutic purposes. In so-called “purges”, elimination takes place via the liver and kidneys, which can lead to a temporary or long-term burden on these organ systems. Extracorporeal blood purification offers the advantage of blood purification combined with additional relief to the detoxifying organs, the liver and kidneys.
Haemoperfusion is an extracorporeal blood purification process in which highly biocompatible plastics are used which, because of their physical/chemical properties, are able to bind various different substances. This process is called adsorption. We use adsorbent materials with specific or broad adsorption spectra. At high concentrations, large quantities of these substances can be removed very quickly. At lower concentrations, the elimination rate decreases. This concentration-dependant autoregulation should counteract the complete removal of physiological substances.
In contrast to apheresis, in haemoperfusion, components of the blood and plasma are not previously separated in a plasma separator. For this reason, this treatment is also considered a whole-blood treatment and volume-neutral.
Die Entwicklung der Vollblutadsorber begann in den 1980igern. Mittlerweile werden sie weltweit in Kliniken u.a. auf Intensivstationen eingesetzt, um schwere Krankheitsverläufe wie z.B. Sepsis therapeutisch zu begleiten Dieses relativ neue Blutreinigungsverfahren ist einfach, risikoarm und effektiv.
In VitaSangius Therapy, VitaSangius offers this highly professional procedure as an outpatient treatment.
Advantages:
- Whole-blood procedure
- Volume-neutral
- Specific elimination
- Broad, effective adsorption spectrum with concentration-dependent elimination.
Haemoperfusion can also be combined with hyperthermia (heating) and hyperoxygenisation (increased oxygen content).
A heat exchanger is integrated in the extracorporeal system and connected to a heating device. This heating device is set individually, so that the blood temperature can be accurately controlled and regulated. The vessels dilate, microcirculation is stimulated, and the entire tissue experiences better circulation. Hyperthermia has a positive influence on the immune system.
This makes oxygen transfer to the tissue easier and increases the amount of oxygen available to the cells. The effect is vasodilative and anti-inflammatory.
The flow properties (viscosity) of the blood and the microcirculation improve. Like hyperthermia, hyperoxygenisation has a positive effect on the immune system.

Indications for haemoperfusion:
- Cancers
- Support for standard procedures which have accompanying side-effects
- Removal of toxic substances
- Reduction of hyperinflammation
- Balancing out the immune system (immunomodulation)
- Improving organ functions
- Liver dysfunction
- Chronic inflammatory conditions e.g. Lyme disease, rheumatism, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis etc.
