The clinical characteristics of IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) especially without autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) have not been investigated in a large cohort.
To clarify the clinical characteristics of IgG4-SC and IgG4-SC without AIP.
We retrospectively reviewed imaging, serology, other organ involvement (OOI) and histology of 872 patients with IgG4-SC who participated in a Japanese nationwide survey in 2019, and compared these items between IgG4-SC with and without AIP.
AIP was present in 83.7% (730/872) of IgG4-SC. In IgG4-SC, bile duct wall thickening was observed on ultrasound (528/650; 81.2%), computed tomography (375/525; 71.4%) and magnetic resonance imaging or cholangiopancreatography (290/440; 65.9%). An elevated serum IgG4 level (≥ 135 mg/dL) was found in 88.0% (322/366). IgG4-related OOI other than AIP was observed in 25.2% (211/836). The proportion of females was significantly higher in IgG4-SC without AIP (28.9% vs. 20.1%; p = 0.025). Hilar stricture was the most common cholangiographic type in IgG4-SC without AIP (39/107; 36.4%).There were no significant differences between IgG4-SC with and without AIP in the rates of bile duct wall thickening, elevated serum IgG4 level, or IgG4-related OOI.
The clinical characteristics of IgG4-SC was similar between IgG4-SC with and without AIP in a large cohort.
尚未在大规模队列中研究 IgG4 相关硬化性胆管炎(IgG4-SC),尤其是不伴有自身免疫性胰腺炎(AIP)的 IgG4-SC 的临床特征。
阐明 IgG4-SC 和不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 的临床特征。
我们回顾性分析了 2019 年参加日本全国性调查的 872 例 IgG4-SC 患者的影像学、血清学、其他器官受累(OOI)和组织学资料,并比较了伴有和不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 患者的这些项目。
83.7%(730/872)的 IgG4-SC 患者伴有 AIP。在 IgG4-SC 中,超声(528/650;81.2%)、计算机断层扫描(375/525;71.4%)和磁共振成像或胆管胰管造影(290/440;65.9%)检查可见胆管壁增厚。88.0%(322/366)患者血清 IgG4 水平升高(≥135mg/dL)。除 AIP 以外 IgG4 相关的 OOI 见于 25.2%(211/836)患者。不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 患者中女性比例显著高于伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 患者(28.9%比 20.1%;p=0.025)。不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 患者中最常见的胆管造影类型是肝门部狭窄(39/107;36.4%)。伴有和不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 患者中胆管壁增厚、血清 IgG4 水平升高或 IgG4 相关 OOI 的发生率均无显著差异。
在大规模队列中,伴有和不伴有 AIP 的 IgG4-SC 的临床特征相似。
