The 20 Best IgG4-Related Disease Doctors Near Me in Columbus, OH

IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an autoimmune disorder in which patients have elevated blood levels of IgG4, the most common form of immunoglobulin that circulates in the blood. Increased levels of IgG4 can cause inflammation in a single organ or in multiple organs, such as the meninges (tissue surrounding brain and spinal cord), the eye sockets, lacrimal (tear duct) glands, salivary glands, thyroid gland, lungs, aorta, kidneys, bladder, pancreas, and bile ducts. IgG4-related disease most often affects middle-aged and elderly males, and rarely, children.
