Dear Editor, A 69-year-old male with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) presented to the emergency department with left eye pain, redness and tearing. Six years before this presentation, the patient developed anorexia, a 12.5 kg unintentional weight loss and dry mouth. He was diagnosed at that time as having new-onset type 2 diabetes mellitus. A CT scan of the chest demonstrated multifocal reticulonodular opacities in the lungs. PET-CT of the chest, abdomen and pelvis demonstrated cervical, axillary, mediastinal, hilar, pelvic and inguinal adenopathy that was fluorodeoxyglucose avid. Fluorodeoxyglucose avidity was also present in the infrarenal abdominal aorta and in the head of the pancreas.During that evaluation, the patient developed progressive renal insufficiency and mild proteinuria. His serum creatinine peaked at 3.3 mg/dl. A CT scan of the abdomen demonstrated a striated, hypodense appearance of the renal cortices. The serum IgG4 concentration was 767 mg/dl (reference: 4–86 mg/dl), and the levels of complement components C3 and C4 were profoundly depressed: C3 50 mg/dl (81–157 mg/dl) and C4< 6 mg/dl (12–39 mg/dl). A kidney biopsy demonstrated severe chronic active interstitial nephritis with> 10 IgG4+ plasma cells per high power field. He met the 2019 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for IgG4-RD [1] and was diagnosed as having that condition. He began a prednisone taper and experienced the nearly complete resolution of his lymphadenopathy and pulmonary opacities within 2 months. His renal function and serum complement levels also normalized.
