Positive disease-specific autoantibodies have limited clinical significance in diagnosing IgG4-related disease in daily clinical practice
Abstract
Objectives The 2019 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) have exclusion criteria including positive disease-specific autoantibodies, and these have been documented to have a high specificity. This study aimed to further validate these criteria as well as identify characteristics of patients showing false-negative results.
