IgG4-related disease: Effectiveness evaluation through Umehara-Okazaki 2011 and ACR/EULAR 2019 diagnostic criteria.
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a rare, systemic immune-mediated fibro-inflammatory condition with an unclear etiology and pathophysiology, potentially affecting multiple organs. It presents with common clinical, radiological, and serological characteristics. This study aims to compare the latest two IgG4-RD classification and diagnostic criteria: Umehara-Okazaki 2011 and ACR/EULAR 2019. ⋯ The more recent and stringent ACR/EULAR 2019 criteria focus on histopathology, various forms of presentation, and analytical data, allow for a more accurate classification of patients.
