Hmmm, the numbers I’m familiar with look like this-

“[I]Patients were treated with an initial loading dose of 2 g/kg[/I]”

and

“[I]patients were randomized to receive IVIg (0.4 g/kg once a week for 3 weeks[/I]

these numbers are from-

As for me, the UCSD trial dose I received was at the .4g/kg 3 days in a row every three weeks.

So, Goodney, for me that was 32g + 32g + 32g or 96g over three weeks.

Also, only for me and, only for now, If I don’t get IVIG every week I decline.
