Additional information
Advanced Cholesterol Reduction Therapy: LDL Apheresis (lipoprotein apheresis, lipid apheresis)
This package is designed for patients with elevated LDL cholesterol levels who are seeking an advanced therapeutic approach to reduce cardiovascular risk and improve lipid profile. It may be particularly beneficial for patients with familial hypercholesterolemia, treatment-resistant hypercholesterolemia, elevated lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], premature cardiovascular disease, and/or those who are unable to achieve target lipid levels despite lifestyle modifications and conventional medical therapy.
The core of this package is LDL Apheresis (also called lipoprotein apheresis or lipid apheresis). LDL Apheresis removes or reduces LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), and other atherogenic lipoproteins from the bloodstream. Depending on the individual patient profile, a single treatment can significantly reduce circulating LDL cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) levels. LDL apheresis is recognized internationally as a therapeutic option for selected patients with severe lipid disorders and high cardiovascular risk.
At Modern Apheresis (Nowoczesna Afereza), all procedures are performed using state-of-the-art Italian apheresis technology (manufacturer Medica S.p.A. Italy) and sterile single-use filtration systems. Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan based on their medical history, lipid profile, cardiovascular risk factors, current medications, and treatment goals. Throughout every procedure, patients remain under continuous supervision of experienced physicians and qualified medical staff to ensure the highest standards of safety, comfort, and care.
Package Includes
Before your arrival, our medical team will review your medical documentation, laboratory results, cardiovascular history, and current treatment plan. You will receive an online consultation with a physician experienced in apheresis therapies to determine whether LDL apheresis may be appropriate for your individual situation.
Upon arrival in Warsaw, comprehensive blood testing will be performed, including evaluation of your lipid profile and other relevant laboratory parameters. Following laboratory testing, a second consultation will be conducted to discuss the results and finalize your treatment plan. The following day, you will undergo one LDL apheresis procedure.
Suggested Schedule
Prior to arrival, online consultations and review of medical documentation are completed remotely.
Day 1: Arrival in Warsaw.
Day 2 early morning: Comprehensive blood testing.
Day 3: LDL apheresis procedure.
Optional Services
Additional LDL apheresis or Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) procedures may be arranged if medically appropriate. Hotel accommodation, airport transfers, and translation services are available upon request but are not included in the package price.
Note:
The suitability, frequency, and expected benefits of LDL apheresis vary between individuals and are determined following a medical evaluation. LDL apheresis should be considered as part of a broader cardiovascular risk reduction program that includes appropriate medical therapy, lifestyle modification, and regular physician follow-up.

How are we doing?
About the clinic
LDL apheresis at DNTRIPLED Medical Services in Warsaw, Poland, uses double-filtration plasmapheresis to remove LDL cholesterol and other harmful blood fats. A session may cost around $2,600. The clinic was Poland’s first private provider of LDL apheresis and double-filtration plasmapheresis.
How the 3–4-hour session works
The AFERsmart Plus system uses filters selected to remove LDL cholesterol, lipoprotein(a), triglycerides, and other atherogenic particles. Blood access usually comes through forearm veins, like a standard IV infusion. The method does not require high blood flow.
Dr. med. Łukasz Maciejewski, a specialist in anesthesiology, intensive care, and emergency medicine, supervises apheresis procedures at Nowoczesna Afereza. A specialist doctor and an apheresis nurse monitor the patient throughout the session.
What the Warsaw session includes
- Use of the AFERsmart Plus therapeutic apheresis system by Medica S.p.A.
- Sterile, single-use plasma and fractionation filters, plus a tubing set.
- Continuous monitoring and medical equipment, including a cardiomonitor.
- Necessary IV fluids, medications, and materials.
The clinic follows American Society for Apheresis guidelines and German Society of Nephrology standards. A doctor sets the number of sessions and treatment details after reviewing the patient’s case.
Remote initial assessment is possible. The doctor reviews medical history, blood tests, and other records, and may recommend additional tests. To explore whether this treatment may suit your needs, request a consultation through Bookimed.
