[PAGID] Maximum rate for IVIG

[Chris Seroogy]

Dear Colleagues,

A question was recently posed to me by our pharmacy staff regarding maximum
infusion rate for IVIG.  They noted some practioners maxed at 110 cc/hr of
10% solution and felt faster infusion rates may lead to renal toxicity
regardless of the product formulation.  This is not something that I
typically monitor and was wondering if anyone has sound data on the safety
for maximum infusion rates of IVIG?  Thank you for any insights, Chris
