IgG4-related Disease - A Patient with Multiple Organ Involvement
Original language description
IgG4-related diseases represent a heterogeneous group of conditions characterised by elevated serum IgG4 levels and fibrotic or sclerosing changes in the affected organs or systems accompanied by IgG4-positive plasma cells. A disease associated with IgG4 may affect virtually any organ - salivary glands, periorbital tissue, kidneys, lungs, meninges, aorta, prostate, pericardium or skin. Histopathological findings are uniform, characterised by a major lymphoplasmocytic infiltrate and the presence of IgG4-producing plasma cells, irrespective of the affected site. It can be difficult to establish a correct diagnosis due to the lack of clinical symptoms. Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs provides good results and requires interdisciplinary cooperation.
