Immunoglobulin Therapy

Immunoglobulin therapy involves giving patients purified antibodies, called immunoglobulins, derived from donated human blood plasma. These antibodies help boost the immune system's ability to fight infections, especially in individuals with weakened immunity or autoimmune conditions. Administered through injections or infusions, the therapy provides immediate, temporary protection or modulates immune responses, depending on the condition. It is commonly used for immune deficiencies, certain autoimmune diseases, and some neurological disorders. Overall, immunoglobulin therapy is a targeted way to enhance or regulate immune function, offering significant benefits for patients with compromised or dysfunctional immune systems.
