Immunoglobulin Therapy
IVIG & SCIG
Immunoglobulin therapy delivers essential antibodies to patients whose bodies cannot produce enough on their own, and helps regulate overactive immune responses in autoimmune diseases. Available as intravenous (IVIG) or subcutaneous (SCIG) infusions, these life-changing treatments help manage immune deficiencies and autoimmune conditions.
For Immune Deficiencies
When your body cannot produce sufficient antibodies (humoral immunodeficiency), immunoglobulin therapy supplements these vital proteins. Regular infusions help your body fight infections effectively, reducing the frequency and severity of illness.
- Replaces missing antibodies
- Prevents recurrent infections
- Requires consistent therapy
For Autoimmune Conditions
In autoimmune diseases, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells. High-dose immunoglobulin therapy can help regulate immune responses and reduce the severity of autoimmune attacks.
- Modulates immune response
- Reduces autoimmune attacks
- Protects healthy tissue
Autoimmune Conditions We Treat
Immunoglobulin therapy has proven effective for a range of autoimmune disorders where the body attacks its own tissues.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy
A neurological disorder where the immune system attacks the myelin sheath of peripheral nerves, causing weakness, tingling, and numbness in the extremities.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome
A rare autoimmune disorder attacking the peripheral nervous system, causing muscle weakness that can progress to paralysis. Early treatment is critical.
Immune Thrombocytopenia
A disorder causing low platelet count due to immune system attack, leading to increased bleeding and bruising risk.
Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia
Accelerated destruction of red blood cells causing fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath.
Conditions Treated with IVIG
Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy benefits many conditions
Myasthenia Gravis
Neuromuscular disorder affecting nerve-muscle communication
CIDP
Progressive weakness and impaired sensation in limbs
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
Weakness and muscle wasting, primarily in hands and arms
CVID
Low immunoglobulin levels causing recurrent infections
Kawasaki Syndrome
Systemic inflammation affecting children
Primary Immunodeficiencies
Genetic conditions affecting antibody production
IVIG vs SCIG: Understanding Your Options
Intravenous Immunoglobulin
Administered directly into a vein, typically every 3-4 weeks.
- Infusion time: 2-4 hours
- Administered by a nurse
- Less frequent treatments
- Higher doses per session
Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin
Injected under the skin, typically weekly or more frequently.
- Infusion time: 1-2 hours
- Can self-administer after training
- More frequent, smaller doses
- Steadier antibody levels
