A Case of Immunoglobulin G4-Related Coronary Periarteritis Assessed by Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography, Intravascular Ultrasound, and Positron Emission Tomography
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is rare. It is characterized by marked elevation in serum IgG4 concentration and infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells into a variety of tissues, particularly the adventitia surrounding great arteries. Here, we report the case of a patient who suffered an acute myocardial infarction and eventually died of a ruptured thoracic aorta as a result of IgG...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-related Coronary Periarteritis and Luminal Stenosis in a Patient with a History of Autoimmune Pancreatitis
Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease is a systemic inflammatory disorder that was first described in patients with autoimmune pancreatitis. Although IgG4-related disease is thought to involve the cardiovascular system, case reports describing coronary artery involvement are relatively rare. We describe a patient who was previously diagnosed with autoimmune pancreatitis and found to have cor...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4 and related diseases.
i mmunoglobulins, produced by plasma cells, are the effector arm of the humoral immune system [1]. Each immunoglobulin consists of two identical heavy chains (α, β, γ, δ or ε – all encoded by chromosome 14) and two identical light chains (either κ or λ, encoded by chromosome 2 and 22, respectively) [2]. The immunoglobulins have constant (C) regions (similar within the same isotype) and variable...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-Related Thyroid Diseases.
Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a new disease category involving many organ systems, including the endocrine system in general and the thyroid in particular. Since an initial association was made between hypothyroidism and autoimmune (IgG4-related) pancreatitis, more forms of IgG4-related thyroid disease (IgG4-RTD) have been recognized. Four subcategories of IgG4-RTD have so far ...
متن کاملImmunoglobulin G4-Related Inflammatory Aortic Aneurysm
1.1 The concept of immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease Immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4) is the rarest subclass of IgG, which is numbered 1 through 4 in the order of their discovery and serum concentration, and normally constitutes only 3 to 6% of the total IgG fraction (Oxelius, 2008). IgG4 antibody has unique structural and functional properties, and the production of IgG4 appears to be drive...
