JAM Video 3: IgG4-RD and The Lungs

Welcome to the third installment of our JAM Video Series, featuring a breakout session led by Dr. Jason Springer, Rheumatologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center

Breakout sessions were a very popular part of The JAM. They consist of smaller group discussions about individual aspects of IgG4-RD, and are designed to maximize the exposure of attendees to experts. Breakout sessions usually begin with a 10-20 minute presentation by the expert, which is intended to establish a certain base knowledge about the topic. The expert then opens the session up for questions from the audience. Breakout sessions are a powerful way for people living with IgG4-RD to learn more about their condition.

In this Breakout, Dr. Springer explores how IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD) impacts the lungs. He begins by sharing a physician’s perspective, covering the basics of lung anatomy and exploring the various ways IgG4-RD can affect the respiratory system.

Following Dr. Springer’s presentation, the session transitions to an interactive Q&A. Audience members’ questions may reflect some of your own and Dr. Springer’s thoughtful responses help to offer valuable perspectives on the condition. This open dialogue throughout the Q&A not only helps to address common concerns but also fosters a supportive community, reassuring the community that they are not alone in their journey.

The video also includes vivid slide images and imaging studies that offer a clearer understanding into the complexities of IgG4-RD’s pulmonary involvement.

We thank Dr. Springer for his outstanding session. Watch the full video below, to deepen your understanding of IgG4-RD.
