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]

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation has not been previously described in IgG4RD and extensive workup to exclude infection and other autoimmune disorders is necessary. [omicsonline.org]

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]

Abstract: Background: IgG4-related disease is a rare, clinical and pathologic disease entity of unknown etiology. [eurekaselect.com]

The aim of this review was to describe the clinical, serological, histopathological and pathophysiological aspects of IgG4‐RS in the context of IgG4‐RD and highlight the differences between IgG4‐RS and SS. [ingentaconnect.com]

The success with rituximab is just one example of how improved understanding of the pathophysiology of IgG4-RD has opened the door to novel treatments. Dr. [mdedge.com]

[…] conditions confined to single organs are now part of the spectrum of IgG4-related disease like Kuttner’s tumour, Riedel’s thyroiditis and Mikulicz’s syndrome depending on the key pathological feature present and perhaps this provides more insight into the pathophysiology [casereports.in]

Though the underlying pathophysiology is still unclear, untreated disease ultimately leads to irreversible fibrosis. [rarediseasesjournal.com]

The treatment of choice is glucocorticoids and it could be needed to add another immuno-suppressant agent as steroid sparing and to prevent relapses. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

If IgG4-RSD is diagnosed early, we can usually control the inflammation within organs and prevent further damage. [massgeneral.org]

Early recognition and therapy are important to prevent serious and irreversible tissue damage. Further epidemiologic data are needed to confirm and validate early observations. [rarediseasesjournal.com]

Treatment of IgG Subclass Deficiency Recurrent or chronic infections of the ears, sinuses and lungs need comprehensive treatment to prevent permanent damage that might result in hearing loss or chronic lung disease. [primaryimmune.org]

This should be kept in mind when only a borderline number of IgG4 plasma cells are present in the biopsies to prevent over reporting. [omicsonline.org]
