Most kids that receive IVIG are extremely complicated, lol. High dose IVIG likely has different protocols than standard dose IVIG so it will be important to know which he'll be receiving. You also have a choice in which medication to use, so that may be worth researching. Gammagard and Gamunex are very popular, but A has done well on Privigen. Just know that side effects are expected, especially the first few infusions.They didn't say
Ds is extremely complicated so that may be why
Makes sense. How often will he receive it? I've known a few kids that did high dose weekly until remission, then discontinued.Dancemom
Looks like 2 g/kg since they do a much higher dose for autoimmune
I think I read primary immune deficiency is much lower dose (0.5 to 0.8 g/kg)
So that would explain the inpatient part
