IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic inflammatory condition characterised by tissue infiltration with lymphocytes and IgG4-secreting plasma cells, various degrees of fibrosis (scarring) and a prompt response usually to oral steroids.

It is a relapsing–remitting disease associated with a tendency to mass forming, tissue-destructive lesions in multiple sites, with a characteristic histopathological appearance in whichever site is involved.

The disease, which was formerly also known as IgG4-related systemic disease, is so named because plasma cells producing the antibody subtype IgG4 are present in large amounts on tissue samples from involved organs, and because serum IgG4 concentrations are elevated in approximately 60–70% of people during an acute phase.[1][2]

Inflammation resulting in fibrosis, the deposition of connective tissue, in affected anatomical sites can lead to organ dysfunction, or even organ failure, if not treated.[3]

Early detection is important to avoid organ damage and potentially serious complications.[4]

Treatment is recommended in all symptomatic cases of IgG4-RD and also in asymptomatic IgG4-RD involving certain anatomical sites.[3][5]

Nomenclature

Names previously used for IgG4-RD:
IgG4-related systemic disease (IgG4-RSD)
IgG4-related sclerosing disease
IgG4-related systemic sclerosing disease
IgG4-related autoimmune disease
IgG4-associated multifocal systemic fibrosis
IgG4-associated disease
IgG4 syndrome
Hyper-IgG4 disease
Systemic IgG4-related plasmacytic syndrome
IgG4-positive multiorgan lymphoproliferative syndrome

Prior to 2011, IgG4-RD used to get mentioned in the medical literature under various different names.[1][6]

At the 2011 International Symposium on IgG4-Related Diseases, the consensus name of IgG4-related disease was endorsed for the condition.[1] This name had already been agreed upon as a consensus name among Japanese investigators,[1][2] notably choosing not to use the term 'systemic' as that might lead to malignant tumours in other organs getting incorrectly diagnosed as being just another manifestation of the IgG4-related condition.[6]

However, some experts at the international symposium did express reservations about naming the disease after IgG4, as its role in pathogenesis is questionable and the use of serum IgG4 concentrations as a biomarker is unreliable.[1]

Individual organ manifestations

IgG4-RD can involve one or multiple sites in the body. With multiorgan involvement, the sites involved can be affected at the same time (synchronously) or at different unrelated periods (metachronously).

Several different diseases that have been known for many years are now considered to be manifestations of IgG4-RD. These include: type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis, Riedel's thyroiditis, Mikulicz's disease, Küttner's tumor, inflammatory pseudotumors (in various sites of the body), mediastinal fibrosis and some cases of retroperitoneal fibrosis.[7][8]

Other affected sites, confirmed on histology to be manifestations of IgG4-RD, include: heart;[27] hard palate,[28] esophagus,[29][30] stomach,[31] small intestine,[32] rectum,[33] adrenal gland,[34] ovary,[35] uterus,[36] ureter,[37] bladder,[38] urachus,[39] and synovium.[40]

Radiologic evidence suggestive of involvement of the superior vena cava[27] and seminal vesicle[41] has been reported in confirmed cases of IgG4-RD.

Symptoms

IgG4-related disease has been described as an indolent condition. Although possibly based on opinion rather than on objective assessments, symptoms, if any, are commonly described as mild in the medical literature. This can be in spite of considerable underlying organ destruction. People are often described as being generally well at the time of diagnosis, although some may give a history of weight loss.

Pain is generally not a feature of the inflammation. However it may occur as a secondary effect, for example due to either obstruction or compression.

Often diagnosis is made due to the presence of painless swellings or mass lesions, or due to complications of masses, e.g. jaundice due to involvement of the pancreas, biliary tree or liver. Symptoms are commonly attributed to other conditions and other diagnoses may have been made years before diagnosis, e.g. urinary symptoms in men attributed to common prostate conditions. Lesions may also be detected incidentally on radiological images, but can be easily misdiagnosed as malignancies.

Reported cases do include some significant symptoms or findings however:

System Uncommon symptoms and complications
Neurological Seizures,[42][43] paralysis or hemiparesis,[42] cranial nerve palsies,[42] sensorineural hearing loss,[44] pituitary hormone deficiencies[45]
Eye Loss of vision,[42] proptosis[46]
Cardiovascular Constrictive pericarditis,[47] heart block,[27] ruptured aortic aneurysm,[48][49] aortic dissection,[50] carotid artery dissection,[51] angina,[52] sudden cardiac death[53][54]
Respiratory Airway obstruction,[55] pleural effusion[36][56]
Gastrointestinal Esophageal obstruction,[29][30] bowel obstruction[57]
Urological Renal failure,[58] hydronephrosis,[58][59] testicular pain[20]

Histology

Whatever area of the body is involved, the hallmark histopathological features of IgG4-RD are:[2][7][8]

  1. A dense lymphoplasmacytic (lymphocytes and plasma cells) infiltrate rich in IgG4-positive plasma cells.
    • IgG4 immunostaining needs to be specifically requested and performed in order to detect IgG4-positive plasma cells.
  2. Fibrosis, arranged at least focally[2] in a storiform pattern.
    • 'Storiform' is commonly referred to as meaning 'having a cartwheel pattern', but its literal meaning is the appearance of 'a woven mat [Latin: storea] (of rush or straw)'.
  3. Obliterative phlebitis.
    • The venous channels are obliterated by a dense lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate, within both the venous walls and the lumen.[2]

Other histopathological features associated with IgG4-RD are:

Submandibular gland research

In an article from 1977, histological research into 349 cases of Küttner's tumor (now known as 'IgG4-related sialadenitis') identified four distinct stages of the fibroinflammatory process:[60]

This may reflect the inflammatory process and development of fibrosis that occurs in other organs involved in IgG4-RD.

Treatment

The goal of treatment is the induction and maintenance of remission so as to prevent progression of fibrosis and organ destruction in affected organ(s).

An international panel of experts have developed recommendations for the management of IgG4-RD.[3][5] They concluded that in all cases of symptomatic, active IgG4-RD that treatment is required. Some cases with asymptomatic IgG4-RD also require treatment, as some organs tend to not cause symptoms until the late stages of disease. Urgent treatment is advised with certain organ manifestations, such as aortitis, retroperitoneal fibrosis, proximal biliary strictures, tubulointerstitial nephritis, pachymeningitis, pancreatic enlargement and pericarditis.

Induction of remission

In untreated patients with active disease, the recommended first-line agent for induction of remission is glucocorticoids unless contraindications exist. Glucocorticoids characteristically result in a rapid and often dramatic improvement in clinical features and often a resolution of radiographic features. However, where advanced fibrotic lesions have resulted in irreversible damage, the response to glucocorticoids and other current treatment options may be poor or even absent.

Although not validated yet in clinical trials, the common induction regime is prednisolone 30–40 mg per day for 2–4 weeks, then gradually tapered over 3 to 6 months. Recurrences during or after tapering of glucocorticoids are frequent however. Steroid-sparing immunosuppressive agents might be considered, depending on local availability of these drugs, for use in combination with glucocorticoids from the start of treatment. Steroid-sparing agents that have been used include rituximab, azathioprine, methotrexate, and cyclophosphamide, although trials are needed to ascertain the effectiveness of each drug in IgG4-RD.

Maintenance

Following a successful induction of remission, maintenance therapy might be given in some cases, for example when there is a high risk of relapse or in patients with organ-threatening manifestations. Common maintenancy therapy is prednisolone 2.5–5 mg per day, or use of a steroid-sparing agent instead.

Relapse

Relapses are common, and a previous history of relapse appears to be a strong predictor of future relapse. When relapse occurs while off therapy and there has been a prolonged disease remission following initial glucocorticoid induction, then the relapse can usually be managed successfully with a re-induction strategy using glucocorticoids. Introducing a steroid-sparing agent might also need to be considered for relapses; however, none has been tested in prospective, controlled studies, and evidence for their efficacy beyond that offered by concomitant glucocorticoid therapy is scarce.[4]

In one retrospective cohort study, baseline concentrations of serum IgG4, IgE and blood eosinophils were found to be independently predictive of relapse risk following treatment with rituximab with or without glucocorticoids; the higher the baseline values, the greater the relapse risk and the shorter the time to relapse.[61]

Other interventions

When organ involvement causes local mechanical problems, further organ-specific interventions may be necessary. For example, when a tumefactive lesion cause obstruction of the bile duct, it may be necessary to insert a biliary stent to allow the bile to drain freely.

Similarly, ureteral or vascular stents, surgical resection or radiotherapy may be considered for various different presenting problems.

Trials

Research is also under way to evaluate the effect and safety of plasmablast-directed therapy with a CD19 monoclonal antibody (XmAb5871) which inhibits B-cell function without depleting these immune cells.[62][63]

Epidemiology

As recognition of IgG4-RD is relatively recent, there are limited studies on its epidemiology. It is therefore difficult to make an accurate estimation of prevalence. Furthermore, age of onset is almost impossible to estimate; age at diagnosis is frequently misused as the age of onset.

A 2011 study estimated the incidence of IgG4-RD in Japan at 2.8–10.8/million population, with a median age of onset of 58 years.[6]
