Interventions

DEVICEImmunoadsorption

1 cycle, consisting of 5 sessions on 5 consecutive days with processing of the 0.7-fold individual plasma volume (maximum 2.5 l) each days with tryptophan adsorbers.

DEVICEPlasma Exchange

1 cycle, consisting of 5 sessions on 5 consecutive days with exchange of 0.7-fold plasma volume (maximum 2.5 l) each day with albumin solution as volume replacement solution.
