About Hemoperfusion
Hemoperfusion is a versatile and cost-effective extracorporeal treatment. Capable of targeting specific molecules in blood, hemoperfusion is now being performed as a first-line treatment for rapid removal of toxins and cytokines at leading veterinary hospitals worldwide.
How Does Hemoperfusion Work?
Hemoperfusion (HP) uses a process called adsorption to remove toxins and inflammatory cytokines from the blood using a special filter. The patient’s blood is run through the filter, which is designed to attract molecules of a specific size and shape (like many common toxins and cytokines). The cleaned blood is then returned to the patient and run through the filter continuously until the toxin level is safely lowered.
How is Hemoperfusion Different from Other Extracorporeal Therapies?
Hemoperfusion is often compared to other common extracorporeal therapies (ECTs), such as dialysis (also referred to as hemodialysis, or HD), continual renal replacement therapy (CCRT), and therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). While all these ECTs share some therapeutic similarities, hemoperfusion’s versatility, moderate treatment times, and relative cost-effectiveness make it a go-to therapy in many leading hospitals for treating patients with severe toxicities or elevated cytokine levels.
When Should Hemoperfusion Be Used?
Hemoperfusion should be considered in patients with elevated levels of certain toxins or cytokines, where the body’s natural clearance and conventional treatments cannot eliminate the toxins or cytokines quickly enough to prevent life-threatening complications.
Compared to medical management alone, hemoperfusion offers:
Better clinical outcomes
Reduced chance of long-term organ damage
Lower cost for pet owners
Treatments are often less than the cost of an extended hospital stay
Streamlined care
Quicker resolution with faster patient discharge
Higher profit margins for hospital
Cost of treatment and staff time are less than extended hospitalization

1 AimaLojic® Blood Purification Filter…
…is placed in the ReVive® HP pump and turned on after placing a traditional dialysis catheter.
1 Treatment
Over the next 30-90 minutes the patient’s blood is circulated through the purification filter, or column as we call it, rapidly removing toxins and returning filtered blood back into the patient.
1 Life Saved
In most cases patients return home same-day and are asymptomatic within 90-minutes.
