Specialty Immunotherapies & IVIG: Advanced Infusion Support for Immune and Autoimmune Disorders.

Managing immune-mediated diseases often requires complex IV therapies that demand precision, monitoring, and a controlled clinical environment. At Kariah Healthcare LLC, we support immunologists, rheumatologists, neurologists, and other specialists by delivering safe, reliable infusion services for patients who require IV immunoglobulin (IVIG), monoclonal antibodies, biologics, enzyme replacement therapies, and IV corticosteroids. Our goal is simple: Give your patients timely access to advanced immunotherapies, with nurses trained to manage the unique requirements and risks of each treatment.

Immunotherapies We Administer

• We routinely deliver specialty therapies across a wide range of immune and autoimmune conditions, including:
• Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG).
• Used for:
• Primary immunodeficiencies.
• Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP).
• Guillain-Barré syndrome
• Myasthenia gravis
• Multiple sclerosis (select regimens)
• Our nurses are experienced with the long infusion times and monitoring requirements associated with IVIG, and we follow strict pre-medication and reaction-management protocols.

OMonoclonal Antibodies & Biologic Therapies
Examples include:

• Rituximab – RA, vasculitis, MS
• Ocrelizumab – MS
• Infliximab – Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis
• Natalizumab – MS
• Belimumab – SLE
• Teprotumumab – thyroid eye disease
• Denosumab – osteoporosis (IV form when applicable)
• These therapies require clinicians who understand infusion-related reactions, first-dose precautions, and disease-specific risks. Our team adheres to evidence-based monitoring protocols and communicates promptly with referring specialists.
• Enzyme Replacement Therapies
• For metabolic and genetic disorders such as:
• Gaucher disease
• Fabry disease
• Pompe disease
• Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency
• These are often lifelong infusions. We support recurring therapy schedules (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) and maintain careful documentation of patient response and tolerability.
• Immunomodulators & IV Steroid Infusions
• Used for acute autoimmune flares, vasculitis, MS relapses, or severe inflammatory conditions. Our nurses administer high-dose IV corticosteroids under established clinical safety parameters.

Why Specialists Trust Our Infusion Center

• 1. Expertise in Managing Infusion Reactions Immunotherapies—especially IVIG and monoclonal antibodies—carry a known risk of infusion reactions. Our nurses are trained to: -Identify early signs of mild or moderate reactions -Manage symptoms appropriately -Escalate care per emergency protocol if needed We follow protocols aligned with specialty-specific guidance and manufacturer recommendations.
• 3. Streamlined Coordination With Your Clinical Team You send the treatment plan—we execute it precisely. We provide referring providers with: Infusion notes Vital signs Reaction reports Lab values (as ordered) Progress updates for long-term therapies Your oversight stays intact, and your patients receive seamless care.
• 4. Reduced Exposure to Hospital-Acquired Infections Receiving immunotherapies outside the inpatient setting may reduce exposure to hospital-acquired infections and offer a quieter, less stressful environment for patients with chronic immune diseases. (Referenced from CSPR Rx infection-control guidance.)
• 5. Nurses Experienced With Long, Complex Infusions Many therapies—IVIG, rituximab, infliximab—require hours of continuous administration. Our infusion center is designed for comfort and safety with: -Recliner chairs -Monitoring equipment -A calm clinical environment -Staff trained in specialty-specific infusion protocols
• Conditions We Commonly Support Your patients with the following conditions may be appropriate for infusion with us: Primary immunodeficiency CIDP MS Lupus Rheumatoid arthritis Vasculitis Crohn’s disease / ulcerative colitis Severe asthma requiring biologics Thyroid eye disease Genetic metabolic disorders requiring enzyme replacement
• If you manage these populations, our center can serve as a reliable extension of your practice.
• Our Commitment to Clinical Safety We adhere to: Infusion Nurses Society (INS) Standards of Practice Evidence-based infection control protocols Manufacturer-specific administration guidelines Condition-specific monitoring practices Providers can refer with confidence knowing we maintain rigorous clinical standards.
