IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is an evolving entity characterized by immune mediated multisystem involvement in the form of fibro inflammatory lesions like sclerosing pancreatitis, dacryoadenitis, Reidel thyroiditis, or chronic sclerosing sialadenitis. Barely, the lesions are restricted to kidney (IgG4-RKD: IgG4-related kidney disease) involving either glomerular or extraglomerular compartment. It is challenging to identify and demands an awareness regarding the entity to reduce the number misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Here, we report a case of a 45-year-old woman with IgG4 tubulointerstitial nephritis (IgG4-TIN) who presented with unexplained renal dysfunction as her initial manifestation. This is the first case of IgG4-RKD reported from our tertiary care center among 1864 native renal biopsy in the last two years.
