From: High level of IgG4 as a biomarker for a new subset of inflammatory bowel disease
Characteristics of serum IgG4 levels in patients with IBD (104 UC & 128 CD) and 45 healthy controls. Serum IgG4 level (a) and IgG4/IgG ratio (b) among patients with UC, CD and healthy individuals; correlation analyses in patients with UC: serum IgG4 level (c) and IgG4/IgG ratio (d) were correlated with therapy; serum IgG4 level (e) and IgG4/IgG ratio (f) were correlated with history of intestinal surgery (+: patients with a history of intestinal surgery; −: patients without history of intestinal surgery); serum IgG4 level (g) and IgG4/IgG ratio (h) in therapy-naïve patients and post-therapy patients with IBD. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 and ns: not significant).
