Objectives: This study investigated the clinical features of IgG4-RKD patients with hypocomplementemia compared with those without it, so as to clarify the factors related to hypocomplementemia.
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, we analyzed the clinical features of 25 patients with IgG4-RKD according to the presence/absence of hypocomplementemia. Additionally, we validated the results of a single-center study in a separate large multicenter cohort of 328 patients with IgG4-RD, and searched for factors related to hypocomplementemia.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the differences in risk factors for recurrent organ involvement (ROI) and de novo organ involvement (DNOI) in patients with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD).
- Researchers analyzed data from 86 patients over an average period of 63.1 months, focusing on how various factors, including blood eosinophil counts and age, influenced the occurrence of ROI and DNOI.
- Findings suggest that the risk factors for ROI and DNOI are distinct, indicating that different strategies may be needed for prevention in patients with IgG4-RD.
