Clinical Utility of Personalized Serum IgG Subclass Ratios for the Differentiation of IgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis (IgG4-SC) from Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC) and Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA). [PDF]
Background: The differential diagnosis of immunoglobulin G4-sclerosing cholangitis (IgG4-SC) from primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) or cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is important. In this study, we aimed to find the best combinations of serum IgG subclasses

Sclerosing Cholangitis Related to IgG4: Not Always a Curable Entity
IgG4-related disease is a recently-described fibro-inflammatory condition with characteristic histopathological findings in the organs involved. The most commonly affected organs are pancreas, lymph nodes, and retroperitoneum.

Diagnosing Biliary Strictures [PDF]
Biliary strictures caused by inflammation or fibrosis lead to jaundice and cholangitis which often make it difficult to distinguish malignant strictures. In cases when malignancy cannot be excluded, surgery is often performed.

PSC-DM: A Validated Clinical Diagnostic Model for Distinguishing Primary From Secondary Sclerosing Cholangitis. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare, progressive cholangiopathy for which diagnosis remains challenging because of the absence of disease‐specific markers and the presence of secondary causes of sclerosing cholangitis (SSC) that closely mimic its clinical presentation. Diagnostic uncertainty can delay appropriate

Isolated IgG4‐related sclerosing cholangitis with normal serum IgG4 levels—A case report [PDF]
The isolated IgG4‐SC that absent from AIP is quite rare and difficult to diagnose. We presented a case of isolated IgG4‐SC with the normal serum IgG4 which was hard to differentiate with cholangiocarcinoma. Under such circumstances, liver pathology has a
