Clinical features and predictive value of serum inflammatory markers of perivascular involvement in immunoglobulin G4-related disease

Vascular and/or perivascular involvements of sclerotic inflammation (perivasculitis) are a complication of immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD). We sought to examine clinical manifestations of perivasculitis by computed tomography (CT) in patients with elevated serum IgG4 levels, and then to evaluate some potential predictors of perivasculitis in definite IgG4-RD patients. From a database of patients with serum IgG4 measurements, we...
