What is A Case of Igg4-Related Interstitial Nephritis With Ureteral Obstruction: Case Report and Literature Review about?

This case report discusses an 87-year-old man diagnosed with IgG4-related interstitial nephritis that presented as a ureteral mass causing hydronephrosis. The patient showed significant improvement in renal function following the implantation of a double-J tube and hormone therapy, with a marked decrease in serum IgG4 levels. The findings highlight the importance of recognizing IgG4-RD to prevent misdiagnosis as malignant tumors, which could lead to unnecessary surgical interventions.
