Abstract:
IgG4-related diseases are a class of chronic,progressive,systemic inflammatory disorders that are characterized by lymphoplas-macytic inflammation,as well as elevated IgG4 levels in serum and tissue,and may involve multiple organs or tissues.When involving the pancreas,liver,and biliary tracts,they are called IgG4-related hepatobiliary diseases.IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis,IgG4-re-lated sclerosing cholangitis,and IgG4-associated autoimmune hepatitis are reviewed in terms of their clinical manifestations and laboratory findings.Accurate identification of the laboratory results for IgG4-related hepatobiliary diseases and correct diagnosis of these diseases help to avoid unnecessary surgery and wrong treatment.
