Abstract
A method of therapeutic or diagnostic treatment using a medical agent in which there will be beneficial effects if the level of circulating medical agent is reduced artificially faster than the reduction by the normal clearance or routes that obviate normal clearance mechanisms. The method includes the extracorporeal removal of the medical agent by passing bodily fluid from the patient over a support adapted to selectively immobilize the medical agent.
