Background Recent research has shown that a substantial number of patients with primary
sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) can also have elevated serum/tissue IgG4. The aim of our study …

Background Several studies have demonstrated that elevated serum IgG4 levels are
associated with poor outcomes of primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), but the impact of …

Several years have passed since the clinical diagnostic criteria for IgG4-related sclerosing
cholangitis 2012 were published. New findings and knowledge have accumulated since …

Abstract Background and Aim IgG 4‐related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG 4‐SC) must be
precisely distinguished from primary sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma (CC) …

Background IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) needs to be differentiated from
pancreatic cancer (PCa), primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), and cholangiocarcinoma …

Abstract Background IgG4-sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) patients have an increased
level of serum IgG4, dense infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells with extensive fibrosis in …

IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) is often associated with autoimmune
pancreatitis. However, the diffuse cholangiographic abnormalities observed in IgG4-SC may …

ABSTRACT Background/Aims: Autoimmune cholangiopathy is part of a fibro-inflammatory
immunoglobulin G-4 (IgG-4)-related systemic disease that causes biliary tract strictures. Its …
