IgG4-Related Disease

Abstract

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) has come to be recognized as a systemic disorder characterized by high serum IgG4 concentrations and abundant IgG4-positive plasma cell infiltration in affected organs. Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a major manifestation of this condition, whose close association with IgG4 has been intensively investigated. In this chapter, we focused on the history of the association between AIP and IgG4, which led to the proposal of the new disease concept of IgG4-RD.
