Comparison of biomarkers between patients with IgG4-RD and healthy controls. The serum concentrations of GDF-15, CCL2, HA, PIIINP, and TIMP-1 were elevated significantly among the patients with IgG4-RD compared with the healthy controls. Within-group comparisons were made by using Mann–Whitney U test. Line chart, mean; horizontal bar, median; boxes, 25th and 75th percentiles; bars, 5th and 95th percentiles. Abbreviations: CCL2 CC chemokine ligand 2, ELF enhanced liver fibrosis, GDF-15 growth differentiation factor 15, HA hyaluronic acid, IgG4-RD immunoglobulin G4-related disease, PIIINP amino-terminal propeptide of type III procollagen, TIMP-1 tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases 1
