AIM: Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is often an unrecognized, rare fibroinflammatory condition that can involve various organ systems. This study aimed to identify the different clinical patterns of this disease in a single center in North India.
METHODS: Patients were diagnosed on the basis of published diagnostic criteria for IgG4-RD. Patients' presenting complaints; epidemiologic profiles; and laboratory, radiologic, and histologic findings along with the treatment and outcomes were collected and analyzed.
RESULTS: In total, 70 patients were diagnosed with the disease. The female-to-male ratio was 0.94:1, and it increased with multiorgan involvement. The mean age of patients was 41.4 years, and the majority of the patients (65.7%) were younger than 50 years. Patients were diagnosed as possible (38.57%), probable (32.85%), and definite (28.57%) IgG4-RD. The incidence of the involvement of orbital and periorbital tissues was the highest (52.9%); however, 13% of the patients had multiple organ involvement. Patients with involvement of the retroperitoneal tissues and the lymph nodes were 8.5% and 5.7%, respectively. Increased serum IgG4 levels were found in 74.3% of the patients with single-organ involvement, whereas all patients with multiorgan involvement had increased IgG4 levels. The majority of patients (94.3%) required immunosuppressive medications along with corticosteroids. Azathioprine was the most commonly used (72.8%) immunosuppressive medication. Rituximab was used in 17.1% of the patients, of whom only one had multisystem involvement.
CONCLUSIONS: This study depicts the most common patterns of organ involvement, along with the epidemiologic, laboratory, histologic, and radiologic data and response to treatment, in IgG4-RD, with a definite ophthalmology referral bias.
