Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a pancreatic manifestation of an IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD). AIP lacks disease-specific biomarkers, and therefore, it is difficult to distinguish AIP from malignancies, especially pancreatic cancer. In this review, we have summarized the latest findings on potential diagnostic biomarkers for AIP. Many investigations have been conducted, but no specific biomarkers for AIP are identified. Therefore, further studies are required to identify accurate diagnostic biomarkers for AIP.
自身免疫性胰腺炎(AIP)是IgG4相关性疾病(IgG4-RD)的胰腺表现形式。AIP缺乏疾病特异性生物标志物,因此,很难将AIP与恶性肿瘤,尤其是胰腺癌区分开来。在本综述中,我们总结了关于AIP潜在诊断生物标志物的最新发现。已经进行了许多研究,但尚未确定AIP的特异性生物标志物。因此,需要进一步研究以确定AIP的准确诊断生物标志物。
