Clinical patterns and risk factors for multiorgan involvement in IgG4-Related disease patients.
Heliyon 2024 January 16
BACKGROUND: IgG4-related disease with multiorgan involvement predicts higher disease activity, thus, it is necessary to identify whether IgG4-related disease involves multiple organs at the early stage. To further clarify the clinical characteristics and risk factors for IgG4-related disease with multiorgan involvement, we conducted an observational study.
METHODS: We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 160 patients who were primarily diagnosed with IgG4-related disease at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2015 to January 2021. According to the number of involved organs, patients were divided into two groups: multiorgan involvement and nonmultiorgan involvement. Patients were divided into a multiorgan group and a nonmultiorgan group according to multiple organ involvement.
RESULTS: There were 82 cases identified with multiorgan involvement and 78 cases diagnosed with no multiorgan involvement in this series. Most cases were elderly and male (p > 0.05). The most frequently affected organs in IgG4-RD were the lymph nodes (50.6 %), pancreas (38.7 %) and salivary glands (35.6 %). Multivariate analysis showed that eosinophilia, IgG4>2*ULN, lymph node involvement, salivary gland involvement and lung involvement were independent risk factors for multiorgan involvement (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: The main issues in clinical practice are how to accurately diagnose the disease and screen the more vulnerable organs.
