    IgG4 Related Disease
    Recorded April 2023
    If you’re living or loving someone with IgG4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD), what do you need to know? How is this condition related to vasculitis? In this webinar, rheumatologist Zach Wallace, MD, MS, breaks down the fundamentals of this complex, rare immune-mediated condition that-if left untreated-can cause fibro-inflammatory lesions nearly anywhere in the body as well as irreversible organ damage. He explains what it is, how it’s diagnosed, and the best tips and strategies for treating and managing the disease. He also answers some common (and uncommon) questions from people affected by IgG4-RD.

    Elevated IGG4 levels are seen in repeated covid vaxxed patients. Mergeonmics does an interesting job of presenting this association.

      I’ve heard the same. As this is a recently acknowledged phenomenon associated with the C-19 vaccine, there is a lot of interest developing in this topic. Perhaps the vasculitis foundation could do a video elaborating on this topic.

      Perhaps the IGG4 production is to avert extreme immuno response. Maybe a natural offset to prevent a cytokine storm. The downside might be an overly suppressed immune response to the underlying cause.

    Thank you for this presentation which helps me understand my situation. I was initially diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, but after a biopsy the diagnosis was autoimmune pancreatitis, IGg4. My treatment was Prednisone and Rituximab. The IGg4 destroyed the insulin producing cells in the pancreas, and resulted in Type 1 diabetes. This is successfully managed with a daily low dose of insulin and diet and I lead an active healthy life at 75. I am grateful for the knowledgeable and supportive medical community.

      I am sorry to hear that your insulin producing cells were destroyed by the IGg4 but glad that you were accurately diagnosed and promptly treated and that you are leading an active and healthy life. There are so many amazing people who research and treat these conditions. We at the Vasculitis Foundation are very grateful for them as well.

    • @vasculitisfoundation
      @vasculitisfoundation  4 месяца назад +1

      I would say it's a mischaracterization to categorize doctors & researchers who are involved in IgG4 research, as being too scared to talk about the link with IgG4 and the Covid vaccine. In fact, there is much ongoing research right now looking into how the Covid virus and the Covid vaccine may impact autoimmune diseases including IgG4. Research takes a lot of time and Covid and the Covid vaccine are still both very new from a research timeline standpoint. I would say researchers are unwilling to speculate until they have more, accurate information. I wish you could meet many of the amazing researchers who are trying to learn more about vasculitis and other autoimmune diseases. I can guarantee that after you met them you would realize just how much they care and just how hard they are working to help prevent and cure diseases not cause them.

      Research into how the vaccine may impact autoimmune diseases? I’m confused, the science was declared a couple of years ago, the vaccine is safe and effective and anyone who has any questions is a dangerous idiot conspiracy theorist. Researchers and scientists should have said they need more time for research when it mattered and mandates were being pushed. They lost a lot of trust and respect along with doctors as a group.

    I'm a Moderna 3 jab victim who was never infected before vaccination. My last jab was in October 2021. Today I received a Labcorp test quantifying IgG subclasses. My result is below.
    Total IgG is 925 reference range is 603 to1613
    IgG1 is 484 reference range is 248-810
    IgG2 is 247 reference range is 130-555
    IgG3 is 44 reference range is 15-102
    IgG4 is 94 reference range is 2-96
    I assume the result is nonspecific to SARS-CoV-2. Subclass 4 exceeds subclass 3. Subclass 4 is elevated at 10.2% of the total. I follow a carnivore diet. My last jab injured but didn't disable. I've fasted for 72 hours three times since I was injured.

    Just tested positive for IgG4-RD. I've had a wide range of symptoms. Saw 4 different specialists who were trying to figure it out. It was the GI doctor who caught it in blood work 5 months after the first symptoms presented. I do believe that it's vaccine related in my case, but I have nothing to back it up of course. I just know I've always been healthy and after the vaccine I get hit with IgG4. I started Prednisone yesterday, prescribed by the GI doctor. What's interesting is my primary care physician previously prescribed Prednisone for a course of 5 days based on some of my symptoms. The GI doctor has me on a slightly higher dosage. Thank you for making this video. It seems like there are only a few doctors taking an interest in this disease which is discouraging. This is an awful disease and to get hit with something like this has been devastating to say the least.

      We are so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. We are glad you are getting the treatment you need and that you found the information in this video to be helpful. There is some research (in the very early stages) being done into links between vasculitis, IgG4 related diseases, and Covid infections and the Covid vaccine. Unfortunately we don't currently have a lot of IgG4 resources on our website but if you join our mailing list you would receive information about upcoming webinars and research some of which might be related to this topic. www.vasculitisfoundation.org/subscribe-to-vf-e-news/
      You could also join our online support community to connect with others who have IgG4 related diseases.

    • @vasculitisfoundation
      @vasculitisfoundation  10 месяцев назад +3

      Hi. That's a great question. I was able to find an article where someone did a review of all of the published research/case study papers on IgG4-RD looking for impact on the ears. Here is what they found. "Results: Nineteen cases of IgG4-RD with mastoid bone involvement were reported in the literature, the earliest appearing at the beginning of the previous decade. Most frequent symptoms included hearing deterioration, tinnitus and otalgia." It does look like some people with IgG4 related diseases have experienced tinnitus.
