靜脈注射人類免疫球蛋白 (IVIG)
**靜脈注射人類免疫球蛋白 (IVIG)** 是一種高濃度的生物製劑，由數千名人類血漿捐贈者中提取的免疫球蛋白（主要為 IgG）組成。 在獸醫學中，它主要作為一種昂貴的**標示外急救療法**，用於當傳統免疫抑制療法（如糖皮質激素或環孢素）失效時的嚴重、難治性免疫介導疾病。 **主要臨床應用：** * **原發性免疫介導性血小板減少症 (pIMT)：** 在獸醫研究中顯示出促進血小板快速恢復的最大潛力。 * **免疫介導性溶血性貧血 (IMHA)：** 用於難治性病例，儘管前瞻性研究顯示其在提高存活率方面的結果好壞參半。 * **免疫介導性皮膚病：** 例如多形性紅斑、史蒂芬斯-強森症候群 (SJS) 和中毒性表皮壞死鬆解症。 > **臨床要點：** 由於 IVIG 是人類血液製品，考慮到人類供應短缺的倫理問題、極高的藥物成本以及對外來蛋白質產生過敏反應的風險，其在獸醫學中的應用存在爭議。
作用機制: IVIG exerts complex immunomodulatory effects through multiple concurrent pathways rather than a single mechanism: * **Fc Receptor Blockade:** The massive influx of human IgG binds to and saturates **Fc receptors** on the patient's mononuclear phagocyte system (macrophages) → prevents the phagocytosis and destruction of the patient's own autoantibody-coated red blood cells or platelets. * **Anti-idiotypic Antibodies:** Contains antibodies that directly bind to and neutralize pathogenic autoantibodies. * **Cytokine Modulation:** Binds to and downregulates pathogenic cytokines including **Interleukin (IL)-1a**, **IL-6**, and **Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α)**. * **Receptor Interference:** Binds to **CD5 receptors** and **T-cell receptors**, suppressing pathogenic T-cell and B-cell activation. * **Negative Feedback:** High circulating IgG levels provide negative feedback → downregulation of endogenous antibody production by B lymphocytes.

給藥途徑
禁忌症
- Prior hypersensitivity reactions to human albumin or human blood products
不良反應
- Increased blood pressure
- Local injection site reactions (pain, tenderness)
- Anaphylaxis / Hypersensitivity reactions
- Volume overload (due to colloid-like properties)
- Thrombotic events
- Fever, chills, facial flushing, nausea (human data)
- Renal dysfunction / Acute renal failure (human data)
藥物相互作用
- Live Vaccines · IVIG may interfere with the immune response and efficacy of the vaccine due to passively transferred antibodies.
監測
- Vital signs (blood pressure, temperature, heart rate)
- Lung auscultation (to assess for pulmonary edema/volume overload)
- Renal function tests (BUN, Creatinine) and urine output
- Clinical efficacy (e.g., serial platelet counts, hematocrit, dermatological lesion resolution)
過量
Overdosage primarily increases the risk of **fluid volume overload** due to the colloid-like osmotic pull of the concentrated proteins. Other reactions could include severe pain and tenderness at the injection site, and potentially an increased risk of thrombotic events or renal impairment.
