IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a novel multi-organ autoimmune disease that mimics many others conditions (malignant, infectious and inflammatory). Physicians from essentially any field need to be aware of this condition because of its propensity to affect any organ system. The study of IgG4-RD has provided novel insights about the human immune system, and several targeted treatment approaches for this condition are no in clinical trials. Dr. Stone will address the approach t diagnosing IgG4-RD and review the current strategies for disease management.
