Abstract
IgG4 related renal disease represents a frequent manifestation of the wider IgG4 related disease, a fibroinflammatory disorder with a not fully understood etiology that affects several organs. Through the clinical case presented, we will focus attention on this pathology and on the diagnostic difficulties that may arise, and on the investigations necessary for the diagnosis. Finally, the main therapeutic options will be discussed.
