Blood Purification Therapies: Advanced Solutions for Your Pet's Health.
Blood purification therapies, such as hemodialysis, plasmapheresis and hemoperfusion, are sophisticated techniques designed to remove unwanted substances from your pet's blood. These procedures are often used to treat kidney, liver or immune disorders, or serious intoxications.
1. Hemodialysis:
Hemodialysis is a blood filtration technique that mimics the function of the kidneys. It eliminates waste products, excess fluid and unwanted electrolytes, helping to maintain the body's chemical balance. This method is particularly useful in the treatment of severe kidney failure.
2. Plasmapheresis:
Plasmapheresis involves separating and removing part of the animal's blood plasma. This can be beneficial in removing toxins, antibodies or other undesirable substances present in the plasma. This procedure is often used in the treatment of autoimmune diseases and certain intoxications.
3. Hemoperfusion:
Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through a special filter that adsorbs toxic substances. It is often used to treat severe poisoning, helping to rapidly eliminate harmful substances from the bloodstream.
