A Case of IgG4-Related Disease Manifesting as Extensive Abdominal Periarteritis and Membranous Nephropathy, Successfully Controlled with Low-Dose Steroid Therapy without Relapse or Complications
The varied clinical manifestations of IgG4-RD sometimes make the diagnosis challenging. However, clinicians should diagnose IgG4-RD based on serological, radiological, and pathological evaluations because, without appropriate therapy, IgG4-RD can lead to irreversible organ failure caused by swelling, obstruction, or fibrosis of the organs.
