All intravenous immunoglobulins are derived from human plasma. Products with higher IgA content pose a greater risk for anaphylactic reactions, especially in patients with IgA deficiencies. All products may predispose patients to nephrotoxicity especially those with sugar-based or proline-based stabilizers. To lower risks, lower concentration products and infusions rates should be used as well as using products with osmolality/osmolarity that is near physiologic range (around 300 mOsm/kg or mOsm/L). Premedications (e.g., acetaminophen, antihistamine, etc.) are recommended to reduce the risk of infusion related reactions.

• Patient’s body mass index (BMI) is 30 kg/m² or more; OR
• Patient’s actual body weight is 20% higher than his or her ideal body weight (IBW)

Use the following dosing formulas to calculate the adjusted body weight (round dose to nearest 5 gram increment in adult patients):

Dosing formulas

BMI = 703 x (weight in pounds/height in inches2)

IBW (kg) for males = 50 + [2.3 (height in inches – 60)]

IBW (kg) for females = 45.5 + [2.3 x (height in inches – 60)]

Adjusted body weight = IBW + 0.5 (actual body weight – IBW)

This information is not meant to replace clinical decision making when initiating or modifying medication therapy and should only be used as a guide. Patient-specific variables should be taken into account.
