IgG4-RD is a rare and complex disease. Reliable information is hard to find. The European Federation IgG4-RD only publishes medical information that comes directly from the two leading international sources below. Nothing is invented, extrapolated, or added beyond what those sources state. Every page in the IgG4-RD section of this website carries a direct link back to its source.
If you are unsure about anything you read here, we encourage you to consult those original sources directly — and always discuss your individual situation with a qualified specialist.
