Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is an entity that has been recognized since 1961. Prior to the discovery of elevated serum IgG4 as a useful biomarker for its diagnosis, Dr. Yoshida in 1995 first described the entity of AIP, which in retrospect closely resembles the current concept of type 1 ...

Autoimmune Pancreatitis: Pancreatic Manifestation of IgG4-Related DiseaseKeywords autoimmune pancreatitisIgG4-related diseaseIgG4Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a unique inflammatory disorder of the pancreas. Two histological types are recognized: lymphoplasmacytic sclerosing pancreatitis and idiopathic...
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 ...
Antibodies to carbonic anhydrase and IgG4 levels in idiopathic chronic pancreatitis: relevance for diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis Increased serum antibodies against carbonic anhydrase II (CA-II Ab) or IgG4 levels have been reported in cases of autoimmune chronic pancreatitis (ACP). To... ...
Usefulness of serum IgG4 in the diagnosis and follow up of autoimmune pancreatitis: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis. High circulating serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels have been proposed as a marker of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). The aim of the present study was to......
High IgG 4 levels and swelling of the pancreas with a diminutive pancreatic duct are suggestive of autoimmune pancreatitis. Given similarities in presentation but radical differences in management and outcome, differentiation from pancreatic malignancy is of paramount importance. There is controversy ...
Although serum IgG4 concentration is widely used as a biomarker for IgG4-RD and type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), a pancreatic manifestation of IgG4-RD, a significant number of patients have normal serum IgG4 levels, even in the active phase of the disease. Recently, we reported that ...
Usefulness of serum IgG4 in the diagnosis and follow up of autoimmune pancreatitis: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis. High circulating serum immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) levels have been proposed as a marker of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP). The aim of the present study was to......
Background: After the first case publication using the term "autoimmune pancreatitis" in 1995 and the successful treatment with steroids we now can distinguish between two clinical und histopathological forms of autoimmune pancreatitis. Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is usually part of an IgG4-...
