IVIG Infusion Therapy Center in Greater Chicago
IVIG Treatment for Immunodeficiency Symptoms
Immunodeficiencies, encompassing a range of conditions that weaken the immune system, often require specialized treatment to manage symptoms and enhance the body's ability to fight infections.
Infusion therapy, particularly intravenous immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IVIG), stands as a pivotal approach to addressing immunodeficiency symptoms by providing essential antibodies to bolster the immune response.
The most common types of immunodeficiencies we treat at Infusacare include:
- Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders: Patients with primary immunodeficiency disorders, such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) or X-linked agammaglobulinemia, benefit from IVIG therapy to replenish lacking antibodies, reducing the frequency and severity of infections.
- Secondary Immunodeficiency: Individuals with secondary immunodeficiency, stemming from conditions like HIV/AIDS or certain medications, may undergo IVIG therapy to support weakened immune function and mitigate susceptibility to infections.
- Autoimmune Diseases with Immunodeficiency Component: Some autoimmune diseases associated with immune deficiencies, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, may involve infusion therapy to modulate the immune response and manage associated immunodeficiency-related complications.
Infusion therapy, particularly IVIG, plays a crucial role in managing various immunodeficiency conditions by bolstering the immune system's capabilities and reducing the incidence of infections, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for individuals affected by these conditions.
