Delivered a lecture on IGG4- Related disease at annual conference of Indian Association of Clinical Medicine. It was a well organised conference attended by faculties and delegates from all over India.

What is IgG4-Related Disease?

IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare, chronic, and immune-mediated condition characterized by fibrosis and inflammation in multiple organs. It is associated with elevated levels of Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) antibodies and dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells in affected tissues.

Commonly Affected Organs

IgG4-RD can affect almost any organ, but the most commonly involved include:

Pancreas (Autoimmune pancreatitis)
Salivary and lacrimal glands (Mikulicz’s disease, Sjögren’s-like presentation)
Bile ducts (IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis)
Lymph nodes (Lymphadenopathy)
Kidneys (Tubulointerstitial nephritis)
Lungs (Inflammatory masses)
Retroperitoneum (Retroperitoneal fibrosis)
Symptoms

Symptoms vary depending on the organ involved but may include:

Painless swelling of affected organs
Jaundice (if bile ducts are involved)
Abdominal pain (pancreatitis or fibrosis)
Dry eyes and mouth (lacrimal/salivary gland involvement)
Fatigue and weight loss
