The diagnosis agreed upon after the analysis of clinical findings and workup was IgG4-RD with extensive renal, lymph node, and pancreatic involvement. The patient was started on prednisone 60 mg/day. [bjn.org.br]

Workup IgG4-related disease is diagnosed on the basis of clinical, biochemical and histopathological findings. It is essential to exclude differential diagnoses, some of which are shown in box 2. [tidsskriftet.no]

Imaging workup for IgG4-related disease should include a CT scan of the chest, abdomen and pelvis to detect possible multiorgan involvement, specifics of which will be further described. [rarediseasesjournal.com]

There is a report that the prognosis for progressive renal disease is more likely when the IgE is greater than 436 IU/ml in patients with IgG4 renal disease. In summary, I would not do any additional tests. [aaaai.org]

Pt was told that he is in stage 4 renal failure; biopsies are inconclusive; no consultants are able to determine the etiology of the renal disease. [aaaai.org]

Epidemiologic understanding of IgG4-related disease is limited due to insufficient awareness of the diagnosis and its only recent appearance in the medical literature. [rarediseasesjournal.com]

Almost all the IgG-positive plasma cells are also positive for IgG4 (brown colour) The epidemiology has been only partly determined, but prevalence is estimated to be 0.28 – 1.08 cases per 100 000 ( 2 ). [tidsskriftet.no]

[ edit ] As recognition of IgG4-RD is relatively recent, there are limited studies on its epidemiology. [en.wikipedia.org]

Epidemiology data regarding IgG4-RD comes mainly from Japan, reporting 0.28–1.08 new diagnoses per 100,000 population and a prevalence of roughly 8,000 patients (compared to the total country population approximating 130 million people) [4]. [elynsgroup.com]

Antiproliferative agents such as mycophenolate mofetil or azathioprine combined with methotrexate may be used to prevent or reduce the incidence of steroid-related adverse events, 1, 2, 10, 11 but their efficacy has not been tested in clinical trials. [bjn.org.br]
