Serum Immunoglobulin G4 and Immunoglobulin G1 for Distinguishing Immunoglobulin G4-Associated Cholangitis From Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis
UNLABELLED The recent addition of immunoglobulin (Ig)G4-associated cholangitis (IAC), also called IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IRSC), to the spectrum of chronic cholangiopathies has created the clinical need for reliable methods to discriminate between IAC and the more common cholestatic entities, primary (PSC) and secondary sclerosing cholangitis. The current American Association for t...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis mimicking cholangiocarcinoma.
Immunoglobulin G4-related lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing disease is an emerging disease. Recently, it has been shown to be responsible for autoimmune pancreatitis-induced strictures of the bile duct mimicking cholangiocarcinoma. Making a diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-associated sclerosing cholangitis requires a high index of suspicion. The differential diagnoses include primary sclerosing cholan...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Immunoglobulin G4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis
SC) is a characteristic type of SC with increased serum IgG4 levels and dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells with extensive fibrosis in the bile duct wall.1 IgG4-SC is now recognized within the spectrum of systemic IgG4-related diseases. IgG4-SC is well resolved by steroid therapy, which is a characteristic feature of IgG4-related disease. IgG4-SC is frequently associated with type ...
متن کاملDifferentiating Immunoglobulin G4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis from Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma
BACKGROUND/AIMS Few studies have differentiated immunoglobulin G (IgG) 4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) from hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CC). Thus, we sought to investigate useful features for differentiating IgG4-SC from hilar CC. METHODS We retrospectively compared clinical, serological, imaging, and histological features of six patients with IgG4-SC and 42 patients with hilar CC. ...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4+ B‐cell receptor clones distinguish immunoglobulin G 4‐related disease from primary sclerosing cholangitis and biliary/pancreatic malignancies
UNLABELLED Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) of the biliary tree and pancreas is difficult to distinguish from sclerosing cholangitis and biliary/pancreatic malignancies (CA). An accurate noninvasive test for diagnosis and monitoring of disease activity is lacking. We demonstrate that dominant IgG4(+) B-cell receptor (BCR) clones determined by next-generation sequencing accurat...
