Complete remission stratified on elevation of IgG4 level.

Remission stratified for the different steroid remission induction treatment or no treatment.

  • Complete remission: absence of clinical symptoms and resolution of radiologic abnormalities attributed to AIP.
  • Partial remission: either absence of symptoms or resolution of radiol abnormal.

Conclusions

  • Patients with type 1 AIP and elevated IgG4 level may need closer monitoring.
  • For remission induction, a starting dose of 0.4 mg/kg/day for 2 weeks followed by a short taper period seems effective.”
