Serological markers for the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis

Suizo, 2007
「自己免疫性膵炎臨床診断基準2006」に血清IgG4が血清学的診断項目として採用された．IgG4の本疾患に対する感度は80%程度，膵癌を対象とした特異度は98%と非常に高い．しかし，IgG4陽性膵癌例も存在し疾患特異的ではない．IgGは感度70%，特異度75%であった．非特異的自己抗体，抗核抗体，リューマチ因子の陽性率はそれぞれ60%，20%∼30%程度であるが，疾患特異的自己抗体，抗SS-A抗体，抗SS-B抗体，抗ミトコンドリア抗体はほとんど陽性となることはなかった．各血清マーカーの同一検体による比較検討ではIgG4の診断能が最も優れていた．抗核抗体，リューマチ因子を追加測定することにより診断能はさらに向上したが，IgGを追加しても向上を認めなかった ...
