| Core Tip |
This case report highlights the successful use of early plasmapheresis in managing a patient with pruritus due to a cholestatic episode of benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis type 2, triggered by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. Plasmapheresis provided rapid relief from severe pruritus when first-line therapies failed and, when reinitiated early during a consequent flare, significantly accelerated recovery from cholestasis. While the procedure’s invasiveness and associated costs underscore the importance of careful patient selection, prompt initiation should be considered in therapy-refractory cases to optimize outcomes. |
