Abstract

Disbalances in the adaptive and humoral immune system may cause IgG4-related disease. This rare disease can affect multiple organ systems, including the retroperitoneum. Retroperitoneal fibrosis can result in postrenal obstruction with accompanied renal failure and/or pain. By means of two case presentations we want to draw attention to this rare disease entity and share our experiences regarding favorable treatment responses with rituximab after unsuccessful treatment with prednisolone.
