Scleroderma Treatment in DNTRIPLED Medical Services Therapeutic Apheresis Center
About the clinic
Scleroderma care at DNTRIPLED Medical Services Therapeutic Apheresis Center in Warsaw, Poland, includes whole-body MRI and therapeutic apheresis. MRI may cost around $2,000–$2,500, DFPP and LDL apheresis around $2,600 per session, and hemoperfusion around $6,600, depending on the filter. The center was Poland’s first private clinic to offer DFPP and LDL apheresis, and procedures follow ASFA guidelines.
Assessment before treatment
Testing helps assess the patient’s condition and plan apheresis. The physician recommends blood tests before the procedure.
- Whole-body MRI: Imaging is available for diagnostic assessment.
- Blood tests: Pre-procedure tests are selected by the physician.
- Plasma or eluate analysis: Lab testing can check for specific autoantibodies, toxins, or proteins. This testing is not included in the DFPP session price.
Apheresis options for scleroderma
- Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP): This option is listed for systemic scleroderma. It separates plasma, filters it in a second stage, then returns the patient’s own plasma without replacement. The process targets autoantibodies, immune complexes, immunoglobulins, and inflammatory mediators while preserving essential plasma components. Sessions take 3–4 hours, usually using veins in the forearm. The physician adjusts the filter pore size and plasma volume to the patient’s condition and treatment goal.
- LDL apheresis: A selected fractionation filter removes lipoproteins. The center also describes this method as supporting immune-mediated conditions by removing autoantibodies and immune complexes. Sessions take 3–4 hours.
- Hemoperfusion: Whole blood passes through adsorption cartridges without plasma separation. The filters target inflammatory mediators, cytokines, and protein-bound toxins. Sessions take 3–4 hours.
DFPP uses the AFERsmart Plus system by Medica S.p.A. and sterile, single-use filters and tubing. Its session includes physician and apheresis nurse monitoring, a cardiomonitor, fluids, medications, and materials. Intravenous therapy and additional eluate testing are not included. LDL apheresis and hemoperfusion also use single-use equipment with medical monitoring.
Dr. Łukasz Maciejewski supervises apheresis procedures. He holds DEGUM certification in ultrasonography and regional anesthesia. The center also follows German Society of Nephrology therapeutic apheresis standards and Japanese Society for Apheresis clinical standards. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed.

DNTRIPLED Medical Services Therapeutic Apheresis Center: more details about the clinic
DNTRIPLED Medical Services – Modern Apheresis is a private single-specialty medical center located in Warsaw, Poland, specializing in advanced therapeutic apheresis, including double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP), LDL apheresis, and hemoperfusion. All procedures are performed under direct physician supervision in accordance with recognized American and German clinical guidelines, using modern apheresis systems from Medica S.p.A. (Italy) and sterile single-use kits. The clinic serves only adult patients and is most frequently visited by patients from Europe and the Commonwealth, as well as the USA, Canada, and Australia.
The clinic focuses on extracorporeal blood purification therapies designed for patients with complex metabolic, inflammatory, autoimmune, and cardiovascular conditions, as well as those seeking support in longevity, detoxification, and improvement of physical and cognitive performance. Treatment is based on individualized medical assessment and performed in a controlled clinical environment using advanced filtration and adsorption technologies.
Therapeutic apheresis procedures—including double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP), hemoperfusion, and LDL apheresis—are extracorporeal blood purification methods in which blood is processed outside the body to selectively remove targeted pathogenic substances before being returned to the circulation. The goal is to reduce the concentration of specific circulating factors that may contribute to disease development or progression.
Double-filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) is a two-stage blood purification technique in which plasma is separated from blood cells and further filtered through specialized membranes. This allows selective reduction of immune complexes, autoantibodies, immunoglobulins, lipoproteins, inflammatory mediators, heavy metals, and selected toxins. Depending on the condition, DFPP may support immune modulation, reduction of systemic inflammation, and improvement of metabolic balance and cellular function.
LDL apheresis is a selective therapeutic procedure aimed at reducing LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) levels through plasma separation and adsorption-based filtration. It may help lower atherogenic lipoproteins, reduce cardiovascular risk, slow progression of atherosclerosis, stabilize plaques, and improve long-term outcomes in patients with treatment-resistant dyslipidemia.
Hemoperfusion is a blood purification technique in which whole blood passes through adsorption cartridges that remove specific toxins and biologically active substances. Depending on clinical indications, this may include inflammatory mediators, cytokines, bilirubin, metabolic toxins, drug overdoses, poisons, β2-microglobulin, excess parathyroid hormone, leptin, protein-bound toxins, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and myoglobin. Potential effects include reduction of toxic load, decreased systemic inflammation, and support of metabolic stabilization depending on the underlying condition.
Clinical outcomes depend on the underlying disease and individual patient condition and cannot be guaranteed.
