3.1.3 <strong>The</strong> case of immunoglobul<strong>in</strong>s<br />

<strong>The</strong> rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g of th<strong>is</strong> chapter focuses on polyvalent immunoglobul<strong>in</strong>s (IG). Demand <strong>in</strong><br />

immunoglobul<strong>in</strong>s <strong>is</strong> the highest among all derivatives when consider<strong>in</strong>g the amount of<br />

plasma required to produce it. Its use cont<strong>in</strong>ues to grow as the number of cl<strong>in</strong>ical<br />

<strong>in</strong>dications for IG keeps <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g. Th<strong>is</strong> <strong>in</strong>creased demand resulted <strong>in</strong> severe product<br />

shortages <strong>in</strong> the late 1990’s <strong>in</strong> the US and a number of other countries, impact<strong>in</strong>g IG<br />

supply <strong>in</strong> Belgium. In addition, IG <strong>is</strong> important <strong>in</strong> terms of amounts <strong>in</strong>volved and budget<br />

impact <strong>in</strong> Belgium, represent<strong>in</strong>g 62% of expenses <strong>in</strong> human plasma derivatives <strong>in</strong> 2006.<br />

In th<strong>is</strong> chapter, IG <strong>is</strong> used to describe pooled polyvalent human immunoglobul<strong>in</strong>, that<br />

can be adm<strong>in</strong><strong>is</strong>tered <strong>in</strong>travenously or subcutaneously; IG does not cover hyperimmune<br />

or specific immunoglobul<strong>in</strong>s.<br />

Polyvalent IG are used to treat a wide range of d<strong>is</strong>eases due to three major therapeutic<br />

properties: IG can replace or supplement antibodies <strong>in</strong> immunodeficiency d<strong>is</strong>eases, <strong>in</strong><br />

order to restore normal humoral immune function; IG has an immunomodulatory<br />

action <strong>in</strong> various autoimmune conditions and <strong>in</strong>flammatory d<strong>is</strong>eases; and IG may be used<br />

as prophylax<strong>is</strong> or therapeutic adjunct aga<strong>in</strong>st some <strong>in</strong>fectious agents <strong>in</strong> patients <strong>with</strong><br />

normal immune humoral function. After IG was shown to be effective <strong>in</strong> the treatment<br />

of auto-immune and <strong>in</strong>flammatory d<strong>is</strong>orders, the l<strong>is</strong>t of d<strong>is</strong>ease for which it <strong>is</strong> used has<br />

grown rapidly.
