Prosorba Column

Similar to kidney dialysis, this unusual type of therapy removes from the blood immune proteins that are believed to cause inflammation. The whole procedure takes approximately two hours and must be performed once a week for 12 weeks to be effective. No clinical studies have yet proved the long-term effectiveness or safety of the Prosorba column.
