New perspectives for autoimmune diseases
Autoimmune diseases are complex disorders in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissue and triggers inflammation. These diseases can affect a wide range of organs and systems and significantly impair quality of life.
At VitaSangius, we use modern blood purification methods such as apheresis to reduce inflammatory processes and relieve the immune system.
Our aim is to provide you with lasting help through individually tailored therapies.
What are autoimmune diseases?
In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly recognizes the body’s own structures as foreign and fights them. The consequences are chronic inflammation, tissue damage and permanent stress on the body. The most common autoimmune diseases include
Multiple sclerosis (MS)
Inflammatory disease of the central nervous system.
Rheumatoid arthritis
Inflammation of the joints with pain and restricted movement.
Thyroid diseases (Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves' disease)
Dysregulation of thyroid function.
Lupus erythematosus
Systemic disease that can affect various organs.
The symptoms vary depending on the disease and can range from chronic fatigue and joint pain to organ damage.
Challenges in the treatment of autoimmune diseases
Treating autoimmune diseases is often a challenge, as the causes are complex and not necessarily fully understood. Standard therapies such as immunosuppressants or cortisone can alleviate the symptoms, but are often associated with side effects.
This is where we at VitaSangius come in with an innovative and complementary method – apheresis. Find out more here.
Apheresis: an effective approach for autoimmune diseases
Apheresis is a modern blood purification procedure in which specific pro-inflammatory substances such as autoantibodies, inflammatory markers and other harmful molecules are removed from the blood. This reduces inflammatory activity in the body and relieves the immune system.
Apheresis is particularly suitable for autoimmune diseases as it:
Autoantibodies and inflammatory mediators reduced
The direct removal of these substances can noticeably alleviate inflammation.
The immune system
relieved
Less strain promotes the regeneration of the body.
The symptoms
sustainably improved
Many of our patients report a significant reduction in their symptoms.
How does apheresis work?
Blood purification takes place in a closed circulation system in which the blood is taken from the body and passed through a special filter. This filter specifically removes harmful substances such as inflammatory mediators, autoantibodies or toxins. The purified blood is then returned to the body.
The treatment usually takes two to three hours, is low-risk and well tolerated. You can find more information here.
