How To Diagnose And Treat Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Immunoglobulin Therapy

Immunoglobulin therapy seems to help Guillain-Barre syndrome patients manage some of their symptoms. It should include patients receiving donated blood through an intravenous line. Patients should receive healthy antibodies from the donated blood. These healthy antibodies may be able to block the damaging ones from attacking the patient's nerves. This seems to reduce the severity of a patient's symptoms. Doctors, though, do not appear to call this treatment a cure.

Although this treatment is offered subcutaneously, this is not common for Guillain-Barre syndrome patients. They seem to require faster delivery in a hospital. Thus, it can mean that immunoglobulin therapy needs to be delivered intravenously. The other delivery method can be done at home. However, it seems to take longer to enter the blood and circulate throughout the body.
