Extracorporeal Blood Purification

Extracorporeal blood purification is a medical procedure that involves filtering a patient's blood outside their body to remove harmful substances. It is often used to treat severe cases of kidney failure or poisoning. During the process, blood is drawn from the patient, treated with specialized machines that clean it by removing toxins and excess fluids, and then returned to the body. This technique helps restore balance in the blood and can support patients when their own organs are not functioning effectively, ultimately improving their health and well-being.
