]]> Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) is a treatment that replaces enzymes for patients that suffer from chronic conditions resulting from enzyme deficiencies or malfunction. Most patients receiving ERT have a lysosomal storage disease. These disorders are rare inherited diseases that without treatment have serious consequences on a person’s life. Examples of diseases treated by ERT include Fabry Disease, Gaucher Disease, and Pompe Disease. Patients with these rare conditions require lifelong treatment. Your treatment team will carry out your physician’s orders to intravenously infuse your ERT medications as prescribed.

Immune Globulin Subcutaneous options are also now available for infusion. These medications provide the benefits of intravenous immune globulin but are injected into the subcutaneous tissue (the deepest skin layer) instead of into a vein. These therapies can be done on the go with an easy to use pump system. Dosing is calculated by your physician and the infusion can be carried out by the patient, limiting your interactions with medical care providers and infusion centers.
