AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI

- People who are unable to undergo the plasmapheresis treatment or attend the required check-up appointments for any reason
- People who are currently pregnant
- People whose blood has a very low level of a clotting protein called fibrinogen (below 50 mg/dl), which is measured by a blood test
