Blood purification for treatment of post COVID, long COVID, long vax syndrome or ME/CFS (treatment with immunoadsorption / HELP apheresis)
Special blood purification can improve the symptoms of post COVID, long COVID or long vax syndrome (treatment with immunoadsorption / HELP apheresis). Increased antibody levels against endogenous structures can be detected in patients with post COVID syndrome. Patient with post COVID or long vax syndrome may meet the criteria for ME/CFS (myalgic encephalomyelitis / chronic fatigue syndrome). Increased autoantibody levels can also be detected in patients with ME/CFS.
In various autoimmune diseases, special blood purification methods (e.g. immunoadsorption) are used efficiently to remove these antibodies.
Post-COVID patients or patients with ME/CFS have been successfully treated with special blood purification (immunoadsorption) in case reports and observational studies.
The German society for nephrology (DGfN) sees treatment with immunoadsorption as a rationale for possible effectiveness in post-COVID, but no evidence in the absence of study results.
So far, blood purification for therapy in post COVID syndrome has not been reimbursed by statutory health insurance and is carried out as an individual health service.
