Therapeutic Apheresis in Hisar Hospital Intercontinental
About the clinic
Therapeutic apheresis at Hisar Hospital Intercontinental in Istanbul, Turkey, is a specialized blood-cleansing procedure performed in a dedicated hematology unit. The hospital holds JCI accreditation, which confirms its adherence to international safety and quality standards. This treatment is often used for patients requiring stem cell collection or specific blood component removal.
The Apheresis Procedure
Therapeutic apheresis works by separating specific components from the blood using a specialized device. The process starts when a healthcare professional inserts a catheter into a vein in the arm or neck. Blood flows through the machine, which removes the necessary parts, and then returns the remaining blood to the patient. This method is similar to a standard blood donation and does not require any anesthesia.
Each session typically lasts between 2 and 4 hours. Because the procedure is non-surgical, patients experience a low physical burden. While the treatment is generally well-tolerated, rare side effects may include fainting, chilling, hand cramps, or numbness in the lips. Medical staff monitor patients throughout the entire session to manage these symptoms if they occur.
Advanced Hematology Facilities
The hospital performs apheresis within its Hematology and Bone Marrow Transplant Center. This facility includes 20 inpatient beds housed in single rooms. Every room features HEPA filters to maintain air purity and help prevent infections. This focus on hygiene is vital for patients with weakened immune systems undergoing blood treatments.
Services for International Patients
Hisar Hospital Intercontinental provides specific support for those traveling from abroad. Patients receive airport transfers to help with their arrival and departure. The hospital also offers free interpreter services in over 15 languages to help with clear communication. These services help international visitors navigate their medical care without language barriers.
