During this procedure, an excessive amount of white blood cells is rapidly removed in disease causing hyperleukocytosis, such as leukemia, which may cause complications such as stroke, respiratory failure and/or renal failure.

• Available in Wisconsin and Michigan

A procedure in which an excessive amount of platelets is rapidly removed in diseases like essential thrombocytosis, which may cause complications, such as stroke or heart attack.

• Available in Wisconsin and Michigan

A procedure in which white blood cells are separated from a patient’s blood and treated with a medication called Methoxsalen, which makes them sensitive to ultraviolet light. The treated white blood cells are exposed to ultraviolet light and returned to the patient. Photopheresis may be used to treat graft vs. host disease, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and organ transplant rejection.

• Available in Wisconsin and Michigan

A procedure in which LDL cholesterol is rapidly removed for chronic treatment of familial hypercholesterolemia. LDL apheresis can also be used to treat focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) when it affects the native kidney or after a kidney transplant.

Versiti has extensive experience collecting autologous and allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cells and mononuclear cells per multiple clinical and commercial protocols. Wisconsin is AABB and FACT accredited and Michigan is AABB accredited and FACT inspected, and both are approved apheresis centers for the National Marrow Donor Program (Be The Match). We are proud to partner with our community hospitals to collect cell therapy products for most current commercial CAR-T cell therapies, as well as clinical research protocols for CAR-T cell and gene therapies.

A procedure in which immature white blood cells called HPCs are collected from a donor. Individuals may donate for themselves (autologous) or for another person (allogeneic), depending on the physician’s treatment plan.

A procedure in which MNCs are collected from a donor as the source material for development of individualized cell therapy products.
