Abstract

Autoimmune pancreatitis is a form of chronic pancreatitis of presumed autoimmune aetiology. The disease is characterised with clinical, serological, histomorphological and imaging features. Autoimmune pancreatitis is recognised as a T-cell-mediated specific disease with lymphoplasmatic infiltration of pancreatic tissue and pancreatic parenchyma fibrosis. Serum immunoglobulin IgG or IgG4 and antibodies (rheumatoid factor, lactoferrin antibodies, carbonic anhydrase II, etc) are usually increased. But the lack of specific biochemical markers is a major drawback in the diagnosis of autoimmune pancreatitis. The Japan Pancreas Society proposed diagnostic criteria for autoimmune pancreatitis as the presence antibodies, pancreas enlargement and pancreatic duct narrowing, lymphoplasmatic infiltration, response to corticosteroid therapy, and association with other autoimmune diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, sialoadenitis, inflammatory bowel disease and Sjögren syndrome. New criteria (HISORt Criteria) incorporate imaging changes, organ involvement, specific elevation of IgG4 subclass and histopathological markers. Autoimmune pancreatitis could be associated with diabetes mellitus an...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Hepatitis

Autoimmune hepatitis formerly called lupoid hepatitis, is a chronic, autoimmune disease of the liver that occurs when the body's immune system attacks liver cells causing the liver to be inflamed. Discover the latest research on autoimmune hepatitis here.
