Autoimmune Pancreatitis: Background
Autoimmune Pancreatitis (AIP) is disorder of presumed autoimmune etiology that is associated with characteristic clinical, histologic, and morphologic findings.
Depending on the specific pathologic findings and the presence of extrapancreatic manifestations, It has been referred to by a variety of names including sclerosingpancreatitis, tumefactive pancreatitis, and nonalcoholic destructive pancreatitis
Once considered rare, it is now increasingly recognized

Clinical Features of AIP• Young-Middle aged 40-65• Male >> Women • Mild symptoms
• Abdominal pain, but without frequent attacks of pancreatitis, are unusual.
• Presentation with obstructive jaundice

Clinical Features of AIP (Cont’d)
• Can occur with other autoimmune diseases Sjögrens syndrome, PSC, UC, Rheumatoid arthritis • Presence of other auto-antibodies
(ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF)
• Pancreatic biopsies reveal extensive fibrosis and lymphoplasmacytic infiltration

Most reports on Corticosteroid therapy
• Prednisone 30-40 mg/day for 4-6 weeks and then tapering doses of 5 mg/week
• Mayo study-Such a schedule resulted in treatment for a median of 12 weeks.

Take Home Points• Autoimmune pancreatitis can be diagnosed
with one of the following:• Diagnostic histology • Characteristic imaging on CT and pancreatography
with elevated IgG4 levels • Response to steroid therapy of pancreatic /
extrapancreatic manifestations
• Elevated IgG4 levels occur in up to 75% of cases
• AIP can occur with other autoimmune diseases i.e Sjögrens syndrome, ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, retroperitoneal fibrosis
![Page 37: Massachusetts Autoimmune Harvard Pancreatitis: A Great ... · autoimmune etiology that is associated with characteristic clinical, histologic, and morphologic findings. Depending](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052314/5f0fa51e7e708231d4452fce/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Take Home Points (Cont’d)• Pancreatic biopsies reveal extensive
fibrosis and lymphoplasmacyticinfiltration.
• Typical histologic changes can be found in extrapancreatic biopsies (gall bladder, duodenum) and along with an elevated IgG4 level can make the diagnosis in patients with otherwise unexplained pancreatic disease.

Take Home Points (Cont’d)
• 1/3 of cases have bile duct strictures and >70% of patients respond to steroids but 1/3 of responders relapse and require continued steroid treatment
• Corticosteroids are effective in alleviating symptoms, decreasing the size of the pancreas, and reversing histopathologicchanges.

Take Home Points • Natural course is from mild to severe low-grade inflammation to atrophy, stricture and fibrosis
•Diffuse enlargement of the pancreatic parenchyma and the “halo” were predictors of good response to therapy
•Strictures in the biliary or pancreatic duct and focal mass in the pancreatic head were predictive of a poor outcome
• Early institution of steroids may prevent progression to complications like stricture
