IgG4 Levels in Non-Japanese Patients with Autoimmune Sclerosing Pancreatitis

Abstract

Autoimmune sclerosing pancreatitis has been reported to be associated with elevated IgG4 levels in Japanese patients.¹ It is unknown whether similar elevation in IgG4 levels is present in non-Japanese patients with this condition. Two patients have recently been identified in our institute with autoimmune sclerosing pancreatitis, and their IgG4 levels have been measured.
