Abstract
Objectives: The ideal diagnostic criteria of autoimmune pancreatitis
(AIP) are still challenging. Therefore, we investigated the clinical
features of AIP in Korea and assessed the clinical use of new Korean
diagnostic criteria.
Methods: We reviewed 67 patients with AIP enrolled in 16 hospitals
via a multicenter study. The diagnosis was confirmed according to the
Korean diagnostic criteria that included pancreatic imaging, laboratory
findings, histopathology, and response to steroid.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 56 years, and 73% were men.
Obstructive jaundice (52%) was the most common symptom, and 14
patients (21%) had other organ involvement. Fifty-four patients
(81%) revealed diffuse swelling of the pancreas. Either immunoglobulin
(Ig)G or IgG4 was elevated in 76%. According to the Korean
criteria, 65 patients had definite diagnostic criteria, and 2 patients had
probable criteria. Fifteen patients were fulfilled with image, serological,
and histopathologic criteria, and 4 patients could be diagnosed
with image and steroid responsiveness. Ten patients experienced
recurrent attacks of AIP during the mean 20-month follow-up.
Conclusions: Among 67 cases of AIP, either IgG or IgG4 was
elevated in 76% of patients, and 14 patients (21%) had other organ
involvement. New Korean diagnostic criteria are useful for diagnosis
of AIP.
