IgG4-related disease (IgG-RD) describes a group of fibroinflammatory diseases that affect a variety of tissues resulting in tumor-like effect and/or organ dysfunction. Clinical presentation varies according to the tissue(s) involved, and diagnosis relies on tissue findings of dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells and a characteristic storiform fibrosis. Treatment is mainly with glucocorticoids, while multiple immunosuppressive medications can be used as adjuvant agents. Rituximab has showed promising results, but further studies are needed.
IgG4相关疾病(IgG-RD)是指一组纤维炎性疾病,可累及多种组织,导致肿瘤样效应和/或器官功能障碍。临床表现因受累组织而异,诊断依赖于IgG4阳性浆细胞密集浸润和特征性席纹状纤维化的组织学表现。治疗主要使用糖皮质激素,同时多种免疫抑制药物可作为辅助药物。利妥昔单抗已显示出有前景的结果,但仍需进一步研究。
