How do the symptoms of acute pancreatitis differ between pregnant and nonpregnant women? What are the implications of misdiagnosing autoimmune pancreatitis for surgical intervention? How did the elevated Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels contribute to the suspicion of acute pancreatitis?
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a peculiar form of chronic inflammatory disease of the pancreas with unique pathologic features, different from all other forms of pancreatitis. Although a possible autoimmune involvement of the pancreatic gland had been proposed since the early 1960s, the term AIP ...

autoimmune pancreatitis, frequency, IgG4 expression, T and B-cell clonalityAutoimmune () is a newly recognized disease. The presence of IgG4 positive plasma cells is thought to be of diagnostic help. In a surgical series of cases, we determined the relative frequency of before and after 1990,...
Introduction Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) type I is a type of chronic pan- creatitis associated with raised immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels in the serum, with typical histological findings and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation in the pancreas.

Before the concept of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) was established, this form of pancreatitis had been recognized as lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis or non-alcoholic duct destructive chronic pancreatitis based on unique histological features. With the discovery in 2001 that serum IgG4 concentrat...

Signs of early osteoporosis might warrant the institution of treatment with alendronate.] Other potential side effects include emotional lability, hypertension, and pancreatitis. ...
