Summary

This study looked at how obesity affects the way the body processes immunoglobulin G (IgG), a drug used to treat immune deficiency. Researchers wanted to find the best dose for obese patients to avoid side effects from too much medication. The study included 40 adults aged 18 to 75 who were already taking IgG. By measuring drug levels in the blood, the team aimed to create safer dosing guidelines.
