INUSpheresis® treatment is similar in process to dialysis and is delivered within a comfortable outpatient environment. Each treatment session takes between two to three hours, and the amount of sessions required is dependent on what condition is being treated.
Two infusion lines are placed, one in each arm within the bend of the elbow. Blood flows into the INUSpheresis® machine where the targeted substances are removed using a special filtration system before being returned to the body.
The machine is equipped with smart sensors so that healthcare professionals can continuously monitor your progress throughout treatment, and adjust if necessary.
INUSpheresis® specifically removes substances that promote inflammation within the body. These include:
- lipids, such as cholesterol
- pathogenic proteins, such as tumour-associated proteins
- protein-bound toxic substances
- fat-soluble toxic substances
- complex infection toxins
- pathogenic antibodies
- inflammatory substances, including CRP and TNF-a
INUSpheresis® is a safe and well-tolerated treatment, similar in process to dialysis. Only inflammatory substances are removed from the blood, which means all beneficial components will remain.
At Cromwell Hospital, our clinicians and nurses have received specialist training from INUS Health in administering the procedure.
INUSpheresis® may be helpful in the treatment of the following conditions:
- long Covid
- Lyme disease
INUSpheresis® is currently only available as a self-pay treatment.
You can find out more about paying for your treatment on our dedicated webpage.
