Overview of IVIG Therapy
Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy is a treatment that uses a purified solution of antibodies (immunoglobulins) derived from healthy human plasma. IVIG is primarily used to treat a wide range of autoimmune, inflammatory, and immunodeficiency disorders by boosting the body’s immune response and regulating the immune system.
What is IVIG?
IVIG is a concentrated form of antibodies collected from blood donors. These antibodies are critical components of the immune system that help fight infections and regulate inflammatory responses. When administered intravenously, IVIG can provide the body with the immune support it needs to manage certain chronic or acute conditions.
Conditions Treated with IVIG
IVIG therapy is used to treat various conditions, including:
- Primary Immunodeficiencies (PI): Including conditions like Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID), X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA), and other congenital immunodeficiencies.
- Autoimmune Diseases: Such as lupus, myasthenia gravis, and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).
- Neurological Disorders: Including Guillain-Barré syndrome and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
- Infectious Diseases: IVIG is used to treat infections in patients with weak immune systems or those suffering from severe infections.
Benefits of IVIG Therapy
IVIG works by supplying the body with a broad spectrum of antibodies, which helps strengthen the immune system. It can:
- Improved Immune Function: helps patients with immune deficiencies by providing necessary antibodies to fight infections and manage autoimmune conditions.
- Reduction in Inflammation: By regulating immune responses, IVIG can help reduce inflammation and improve quality of life in autoimmune disease patients.
- Faster Recovery: IVIG helps accelerate recovery for those with chronic or severe infections and other immune-related issues.
