Its pathogenesis is complex and involves genetic and environmental factors, while immune responses usually mediate organ damage and promote fibrosis, which is a key feature of the disease. IgG4 responses, however, are not exclusive to IgG4-RD and can be encountered in other diseases with phenotypes that partially overlap that of IgG4-RD. Although IgG4-RD has clinical and histological hallmarks, the lack of validated diagnostic criteria often makes the diagnosis challenging, requiring a multi-dimensional approach that integrates clinical, radiological and serological data. The present Review covers recent advances in the understanding of disease drivers and its clinical phenotypes, mainly focusing on the differential diagnosis with potential IgG4-RD mimickers, namely histiocytoses, lymphoproliferative disorders, systemic vasculitides and other immune-mediated conditions. The Review also provides a schematic approach to IgG4-RD treatment, including a brief overview of glucocorticoid-sparing agents and emerging therapies, from B cell-depleting monoclonal antibodies to cytokine-targeting drugs, the majority of which are currently under investigation in randomized clinical trials.</p>","PeriodicalId":18810,"journal":{"name":"Nature Reviews Rheumatology","volume":"1715 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":33.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143789913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
