Azathioprine as successful maintenance therapy in IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis
A 65-year-old man presented with a progressive increase in plasma creatinine (PCr). Two years before, diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging had revealed a relapse of immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) associated with sclerosing cholangitis. Bilateral hypointense renal cortical nodules were also described. Kidney biopsy showed patchy disappearance of tubules, ...
متن کاملAtypical presentation of IgG4-related autoimmune pancreatitis - be awake to early detecting subsequent renal involvement: case report and literature review
We report a case of atypical radiological presentation of type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) associated with sclerosing cholangitis, corresponding to a recently described systemic disorder named IgG4-related systemic disease (IgG4-RSD). In our patient (a 62 year-old man), magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed atypical stenosis of the main pancreatic duct with upstream dilatation ...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Meningitis Caused by Pathogenic Microorganisms Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Bacterial meningitis is an acute infectious inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain. Its early diagnosis is vital because of its high morbidity and mortality. It is mostly diagnosed by a gold standard diagnostic tool i.e. Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) analysis. However, it is sometimes difficult and or impossible to do this procedure and an alternative diagnostic t...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging on Treatment Efficacy in MS Patients With Acute Attacks
Background: Despite the existence of various imaging methods, the accurate diagnosis of many neurodegenerative diseases is still controversial. The use of advanced imaging techniques, such as the diffusion weighted imaging can be help the early detection of MS and evaluation of the treatment efficacy in these patients. Materials and method: 24 MS patients with acute attack and thirty healthy s...
متن کاملIgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis associated with only lymphadenopathy and without elevated serum IgG4 or renal imaging abnormalities: a case report and literature review.
IgG4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN) is the most common renal manifestation of IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD) and may cause acute or chronic renal dysfunction. Imaging often shows heterogeneous densities in the kidneys, such as a mass or multiple nodules. Serology usually demonstrates high levels of serum IgG4 and total IgG. Most patients have other organs involvement by...
