Introduction: We conducted a comprehensive comparative analysis of the Okazaki, Umehara, and American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for diagnosing immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD).

Materials And Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in a single tertiary hospital, using expert clinical judgment as the gold standard. We compared the diagnostic accuracy of the Okazaki, Umehara, and ACR/EULAR criteria in a cohort of 41 patients with suspected IgG4-RD.

Background: IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a relapsing-remitting, fibroinflammatory, multisystem disorder. Cardiovascular involvement from IgG4-RD has not been systematically characterised. In this study, we sought to evaluate consecutive patients with IgG4-RD using a detailed multiparametric cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging protocol.

Article Synopsis
  • A 54-year-old woman was admitted with recurrent abdominal pain and new chest pain, leading to the discovery of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, suspected to involve intramural hematoma or aortitis.
  • Initial conservative treatment was followed by surgical intervention after imaging suggested intramural hematoma, but surgery revealed severe aortitis without hematoma, indicating complex diagnostic challenges.
  • Further examination identified IgG4-related disease linked to chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), highlighting the need for a multidisciplinary approach and various diagnostic methods to accurately assess aortic conditions.

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune disorder characterized by organ enlargement and fibrosis leading to functional impairment. Key immune cell subsets contributing to the pathogenesis of IgG4-RD include T follicular helper 2 cells (Tfh2), Tfh1, CX3CR1 + cytotoxic T cells (CX3CR1 + CTLs), Tregs and IgG4 + B cells. Tfh2 and Tregs are commonly involved in inducing IgG4 class-switching in this disease.
