Tolerability and kinetics of a solvent-detergent-treated intravenous immunoglobulin preparation in hypogammaglobulinaemia patients.
1995
The tolerability and kinetics of a solvent-detergent-treated 6% intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) preparation were studied in 15 hypogammaglobulinaemia patients during 3–4 regular substitution infusions of 9–18 g, the mean dose being 359 mg/kg. The infusions were well tolerated, and the trough serum IgG levels achieved were comparable to two commercial IVIG preparations. The stepwise increase of the infusion rate up to 5 mg/kg/min and the use of this IVIG as a 12% solution were possible without serious adverse events in all the 6 studied hypogammaglobulinaemia patients. This greatly reduced the time needed for the infusions.
