Renal Manifestations of IgG4‐Related Disease: A Concise Review
Bibliographic record
Abstract
IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an immune-mediated disorder marked by fibro-inflammatory masses that can infiltrate multiple organ systems. Due to its relatively recent discovery and limited understanding of its pathophysiology, IgG4-related disease may be difficult to recognize and is consequently potentially underdiagnosed. Renal involvement is becoming regarded as one of the key features of this disease. To date, the most well-recognized renal complication of IgG4-related disease is tubulointerstitial nephritis, but membranous glomerulonephritis, renal masses, and retroperitoneal fibrosis have also been reported. This concise review has two objectives. First, it will briefly encapsulate the history, epidemiology, and presentation of IgG4-related disease. Second, it will examine the reported renal manifestations of IgG4-related disease, exploring the relevant histology, imaging, clinical features, and treatment considerations. This synthesis will be highly relevant for nephrologists, rheumatologists, general internists, and renal pathologists to raise awareness and help improve early recognition of IgG4-related kidney disease (IgG4-RKD).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
