The cytokine storm caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection, primarily characterised by elevated plasma concentrations of interleukin 6 (IL-6), plays a central role in COVID-19 [2] ; therefore, its suppression is considered a key treatment approach in patients with COVID-19. Especially, CHDF is reported to continually suppress inflammatory cytokines and has been used in critically ill patients, including those with septic shock, ARDS and infections with viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus [5] . We herein present a patient on PD who became critically ill due to COVID-19 and was treated with several extracorporeal treatments including PE, PMX-DHP and CHDF to suppress the cytokine storm. ./cache/cord-266896-unb9yvjr.txt ./txt/cord-266896-unb9yvjr.txt
