To explore the clinical characteristics of IgG4-related retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) in China.
From December 2010 to September 2013, a total of 107 IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) patients were reviewed prospectively. Their clinical, laboratory and histopathological features were summarized. And the treatment responses were analyzed.
Among them, 22 RPF cases were identified. The male-to-female ratio and age were 4.5: 1 and 63 ± 11 years respectively. The follow-up period was 3-28 months. The most common onset symptom was low back pain (55%). Multiple organ involvements were documented in 20 patients (91%), including lymphadenopathy (n = 9), aortitis (n = 8), sialadenitis (n = 7), dacryoadenitis (n = 5) and autoimmune pancreatitis (n = 4). Allergic histories were reported by10 subjects (46%). Eosinophilia was present in 6 subjects (27%). Serum IgG4 levels were significantly elevated in all subjects. Serum total IgE level was elevated in 12/13 tested subjects. Tissue biopsies of 12 subjects revealed massive lymphocytic infiltration and obvious tissue fibrosis. Immunohistochemical staining showed a massive infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cell. Glucocorticoid was administrated in all subjects. Most subjects received combined therapy with immunosuppressive agents or tamoxifen.
IgG4-related RPF is a systemic autoimmune disease with favorable responses to the treatments of glucocorticoid and immunosuppressive agents.
探讨中国IgG4相关性腹膜后纤维化(RPF)的临床特征。
回顾性分析2010年12月至2013年9月期间前瞻性纳入的107例IgG4相关性疾病(IgG4-RD)患者。总结其临床、实验室及组织病理学特征,并分析治疗反应。
其中确诊为RPF的患者22例。男女比例为4.5∶1,年龄为(63±11)岁。随访时间为3~28个月。最常见的首发症状为腰痛(55%)。20例患者(91%)存在多器官受累,包括淋巴结病(9例)、主动脉炎(8例)、涎腺炎(7例)、泪腺炎(5例)和自身免疫性胰腺炎(4例)。10例患者(46%)有过敏史。6例患者(27%)有嗜酸性粒细胞增多。所有患者血清IgG4水平均显著升高。13例接受检测的患者中12例血清总IgE水平升高。12例患者的组织活检显示大量淋巴细胞浸润及明显的组织纤维化。免疫组化染色显示IgG4阳性浆细胞大量浸润。所有患者均接受糖皮质激素治疗。大多数患者接受了免疫抑制剂或他莫昔芬的联合治疗。
IgG4相关性RPF是一种系统性自身免疫性疾病,对糖皮质激素和免疫抑制剂治疗反应良好。
