This book offers a detailed review of the pathological and imaging features, diagnosis and treatment of Ig G4-Related Kidney Disease (Ig G4-RKD). Ig G4-related disease (Ig G4-RD), which is characterized by an elevated serum Ig G4 level and infiltration of systemic organs by Ig G4 positive plasma cells, is a newly recognized systemic disease. Diverse renal manifestations including specific tubulointerstitial nephritis, membranous nephropathy, and tumor-like urological diseases extending to the pelvis and urinary tract in Ig G4-RD have been reported and are recently attracting attention as Ig G4-RKD. In this book, leading researchers in the field present the latest insights into the broad spectrum of Ig G4-RKD characteristics. In addition, they provide a detailed explanation of the pathology of Ig G4-RKD including comparisons between the kidney and other affected organs, such as the lacrimal, salivary glands and pancreas in the histopathological section. Ig G4-Related Kidney Disease will have a major impact on future immunological and nephrological studies and offers a useful resource not only for nephrologists but also general physicians and investigators in related fields.
