Treatments - Procedures Plasma exchange or plasmapheresis This treatment is sometimes used in patients with severe vasculitis where antibodies in the blood are thought to be important in causing the disease. [vasculitis.org.uk]

On the sixth day of treatment, due to the moderate increase of transaminases and widespread development of oesophagial candidiasis, the steroid treatment was terminated and mycostatin suspension was included in the treatment. [academic.oup.com]
