Diseases Immunoglobulin Can Help With
Immunoglobulin Therapy, known for its versatility and efficacy, offers targeted support for various diseases and conditions, including:
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP):
CIDP is a neurological disorder characterized by progressive weakness and impaired sensation in the arms and legs. IG therapy supports the nervous system, helps mitigate symptoms, and improves nerve function.
Primary Immunodeficiency (PI):
IG therapy is instrumental in providing crucial antibodies for individuals with PI to enhance immune function and protect against infections.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL):
CLL is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. IG therapy can be used to help maintain immune function and reduce infection risks in patients with CLL.
Autoimmune Diseases:
These conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells and tissues. Immune globulin infusions help regulate the immune response and reduce inflammation associated with autoimmune diseases, promoting better symptom management.
Common Variable Immune Deficiency (CVID):
CVID is a primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by low levels of antibodies and an increased susceptibility to infections. This therapy helps replenish deficient antibodies and strengthen the immune system in individuals with CVID.
Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP):
ITP is an autoimmune disorder that leads to a low platelet count, causing excessive bleeding and bruising. This treatment can regulate immune responses and improve platelet function to support healthy blood clotting.
Kawasaki Disease:
Kawasaki disease is an inflammatory condition that primarily affects young children, causing inflammation in the blood vessels. Immunoglobulin therapy can aid in boosting the immune response and assisting in the recovery process from this condition.
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy (MMN):
MMN is a progressive condition that affects motor nerves, leading to weakness and atrophy in muscles. Immunoglobulin therapy can help slow the progression of the disease and improve muscle strength.
Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS):
GBS is a rapid-onset muscle weakness caused by the immune system damaging the peripheral nervous system. IG therapy can shorten the duration of the illness and improve recovery outcomes.
People with Bone Marrow Transplants:
Immunoglobulin therapy is used to support the immune system in patients who have undergone bone marrow transplants, helping to prevent infections and graft-versus-host disease.
Pediatric Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV):
In children with HIV, immunoglobulin therapy can help boost the immune system and reduce the risk of infections.
