Re: IVIG Treatment & Donating Blood

[Guest guest]

Hi Kristy,

 

It is nearly impossible to donate or get enough donors to create even one dose

worth of treatment. It takes approximately 10,000 donations to make one dose of

IVIG. I learned that after I contacted our blood bank and immunologists office

asking the same thing. How old is your kiddo?

I have a son that there is a really good chance the doctor will start him on the

IVIG Treatments soon. I heard that if you can get people to dontate blood in his

name that it can reduce the cost of the treatment.

Has anybody done this or have heard of this?

Thanks

Kristy
