Extracorporeal Therapies

Extracorporeal therapies are medical treatments that remove harmful substances from the blood outside the body. Blood is drawn from the patient, processed through special machines that filter out toxins, excess fluids, or waste products, and then returned to the bloodstream. These therapies are used in conditions like severe kidney or liver failure, where the body's natural cleaning systems can't keep up. They help stabilize patients by improving organ function and reducing harmful buildup, acting as a temporary support while the underlying condition is treated or the organs recover.
