Inuspheresis: A Revolutionary Treatment for Immune-Related Disorders

Inuspheresis is a medical treatment that involves the removal of excess immune cells from the blood.
The treatment is primarily used to treat immune-related disorders, such as autoimmune diseases, graft-versus-host
disease, and hyperinflammatory conditions. Inuspheresis is a relatively new medical technology that is still being studied,
but early results suggest that it can be an effective treatment option for many patients.
Here’s an in-depth look at how Inuspheresis works, what conditions it can treat, and what the research says about its effectiveness.

How Inuspheresis Works

Inuspheresis works by removing excess immune cells from the bloodstream. The treatment involves passing
the patient’s blood through a hemoperfusion filter, which contains tiny magnetic beads. These beads attract immune
cells, allowing them to be removed from the blood. The filtered blood is then returned to the patient’s body, and the process
is repeated multiple times. By removing excess immune cells, Inuspheresis helps to reduce inflammation, which is a primary
contributor to many chronic health conditions.

Conditions Treated with Inuspheresis

Inuspheresis is primarily used to treat immune-related disorders, including:
1. Autoimmune Diseases – Inuspheresis has been used to treat a wide range of autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid
arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, and others. The treatment has been shown to reduce disease activity and improve symptoms in many patients.
2. Graft-Versus-Host Disease – Inuspheresis has also been used to treat graft-versus-host disease, a complication that can occur
after a bone marrow or stem cell transplant. The treatment has been shown to reduce symptoms and improve patient outcomes in many cases.
3. Hyperinflammatory Conditions – Inuspheresis has been used to treat hyperinflammatory conditions, such as cytokine storm syndrome,
which can occur in response to certain infections or other triggers. The treatment has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve
outcomes in many patients.

Effectiveness of Inuspheresis

While Inuspheresis is still a relatively new medical technology, early results suggest that it can be an effective treatment option for
many patients. A recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Apheresis looked at the use of Inuspheresis to treat autoimmune diseases.
The study found that the treatment was well-tolerated and led to significant improvements in disease activity and symptoms in many patients.

Another study, published in the Journal of Autoimmunity, looked at the use of Inuspheresis to treat lupus nephritis, a complication of lupus that affects the kidneys. The study found that Inuspheresis led to significant improvements in kidney function and reduced the need for harsh medications in many patients.
Overall, the research suggests that Inuspheresis can be a valuable treatment option for many patients with immune-related disorders. If you think you may be a candidate for Inuspheresis, feel free to speak with one of our doctors to discuss the benefits of the treatment!
