Infusions for mitochondrial disorders
How it works
Intravenous infusions for mitochondrial disorders are a form of support for people in whom mitochondrial dysfunction is suspected or diagnosed, often manifesting as chronic fatigue, reduced stamina and multi-organ symptoms.
This is an adjunctive therapy that can be used as a complement to treatment provided by a doctor and to recommended lifestyle changes, such as dietary modification, work on sleep and gradual, supervised introduction of physical activity.
The aim of the infusions is to support the overall condition of the body and to accompany the patient in the treatment process of mitochondrial disorders under specialist care. The effects of therapy are individual, and the decision to use this form of support is made by the doctor after assessing the patient’s health status.
Who it is for
Intravenous infusions for mitochondrial disorders may be considered for people who:
- have diagnosed or suspected mitochondrial disorders,
- experience chronic fatigue disproportionate to everyday demands,
- notice reduced exercise tolerance, “lack of energy” and prolonged recovery after even minor exertion,
- report multi-organ symptoms (e.g. muscle weakness, pain, concentration problems) that are being diagnosed and monitored by a doctor,
- are under regular medical supervision and have up-to-date documentation and test results.
The infusion does not replace treatment provided by a doctor or other recommended therapeutic methods. It may be considered as part of a therapeutic plan.
How it works – step by step
- Contact with reception
The first step is to contact reception – by phone or via the contact form on the website. You will receive organisational information and a proposed date to begin the qualification process for infusions for mitochondrial disorders. - You complete a qualification form
Before the consultation, we ask you to complete a qualification form describing your symptoms (e.g. chronic fatigue, exercise intolerance), previous diagnoses, medications you are taking and any test results you have. This allows the doctor to make an initial assessment of the safety of using intravenous infusions. - Qualification and selection of the preparation and dosage by a physician (in the case of patients under 18 years of age)
During the qualification visit, the physician conducts a detailed medical interview and analyzes the medical documentation and test results. On this basis, they decide whether intravenous infusions for mitochondrial disorders are an appropriate form of support in your child’s situation. If you are over 18 years of age, the preparation is selected by a specialized nurse. - Scheduling the infusions
After a positive qualification, a date is set for the first intravenous infusion for mitochondrial disorders and, if appropriate, a provisional schedule of further sessions. You will receive clear instructions on how to prepare for the infusion, the expected duration of your stay in the clinic and the recommendations that apply after the procedure is completed.
