Clinical, serological, and histopathological features are clearly described and imaging appearances on all relevant modalities are illustrated, covering the bile duct and other involved organs. Differential diagnosis from other diseases, including primary sclerosing cholangitis and cholangiocarcinoma, is precisely explained. Information is then presented on all significant current and emerging therapeutic strategies, including steroids, immunosuppressive drugs, and rituximab. Finally, attention is drawn to significant prognostic features. While IgG4-related sclerosing cholangitis is now a widely acknowledged condition, most practitioners are still liable to misdiagnose it owing to a lack of familiarity with its presenting features. This book should help to rectify the situation and will be an asset for all who may encounter the disease in clinical practice. 606 $aInternal medicine 606 $aInternal Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33002 615 0$aInternal medicine. 615 14$aInternal Medicine. 676 $a612.35 702 $aKamisawa$b Terumi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKim$b Myung-Hwan$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337501503321 996 $aIgG4-Related Sclerosing Cholangitis$91736111 997 $aUNINA
