Official Title: Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarkers for IgG4-related Disease.
Brief Summary:
IgG4-immunoglobulin-related disease (IgG4-IRD) is a relatively new pathology, characterized by intense inflammation, fibrosis, infiltration and elevated IgG4 levels in peripheral blood.Despite the interest in the disease, these diagnostic criteria are not without discrepancies and false negatives.In fact, despite the fact that elevated serum IgG4 concentrations can provide an important clue for the diagnosis of the disease,described that the specificity and positive predictive value of elevated serum IgG4…
