What is DFPP?
Double Filtration Plasmapheresis is an innovative, highly safe, and precise blood wasing method. It effectively removesharmful substances—antibodies, toxins, heavy metals, cholesterol, and immune complexes—without the use of donor plasma. Most of the healthy blood components are returned to your body.
Step by Step: What does the DFPP procedure look like?
Before the procedure, you speak with your doctor. Based on the interview and health questionnaire, the doctor selects the best set of filters. They also answer all your questions and determine the number of sessions required.
