IgG4-related systemic disease (IgG4-RSD) is an autoimmune disease that includes a wide variety of lesions. IgG4-RSD is characterized by high levels of serum IgG4, abundant levels of IgG4-positive plasma cells and T-lymphocyte infiltration in various organs. Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) is a major finding when the kidneys are involved and is effectively treated with corticosteroid therapy. We herein describe two cases of IgG4-related TIN. Such cases have rarely been reported in China.
IgG4相关性系统性疾病(IgG4-RSD)是一种自身免疫性疾病,包含多种病变。IgG4-RSD的特征为血清IgG4水平升高、IgG4阳性浆细胞数量丰富以及各器官出现T淋巴细胞浸润。当肾脏受累时,肾小管间质性肾炎(TIN)是主要表现,采用皮质类固醇疗法可有效治疗。我们在此描述两例IgG4相关性TIN。此类病例在中国鲜有报道。
