I think the most important thing to know is that the disease is highly treatable. So, it is a remarkably rewarding disease to diagnose and to treat. It's remarkably rewarding to diagnose it because so often patients have been stumbling along for long periods of time, even years without a diagnosis. And they have seen many providers and to be the provider that puts all of the pieces of the puzzle together and is able to tell the patient what they have and not only what they have, it has a name. They're not the only person with this set of symptoms. But there is an effective approach to treatment.

This is incredibly rewarding for a physician, and I think this out of all of the really interesting and unique things about IgG4-related disease is important to keep in mind. It is very rewarding to diagnose and treat this condition. It's worth delving into and learning more about for those reasons. It's also, of course, an important part of the differential diagnosis for so many different organ system problems because of its propensity to cause problems in so many different organ systems.
