Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated systemic fibroinflammatory condition that can affect multiple organs, including the meninges, orbits, lacrimal and salivary glands, thyroid, lungs, aorta, kidneys, and pancreatobiliary system. Disease activity can lead to substantial organ damage, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality. The varied clinical presentations of IgG4-RD often result in underrecognition and misdiagnosis, leading to potentially avoidable organ damage. Rheumatologists must be vigilant to ensure early detection and timely intervention. This educational activity is designed to raise awareness of IgG4-RD and its management. The program will emphasize differential diagnosis as well as current and emerging treatment options for this disease. Patient perspectives, a case presentation, and Rapid-Fire Roundtable panel discussions will enhance learning opportunities for attendees.
