I had my ivig today. The resident doctor asked me why do I need Ivig? Oh no! I need to brush up my immunology. Doctor, doctor where are you? I just replied I need ivig because my immunologist said so. It is shameful, this is my third ivig, yet I dont know exactly why I need an ivig infusion.
What is ivig?. Ivig is an extract of human blood which contains antibodies to diseases. It is used for patients born with lack of antibodies blablabla. In my own opinion, my case is not in the list.
Let me make a guess. Oh ever mind, I dont want to guess. How does ivig help? If I have infection, it might help... grrr... why do I need Ivig?
How does it suppress nk cell? And how does it lower the tnf-a:il-10?
