Retroperitoneal Fibrosis Is Still an Underdiagnosed Entity with Poor Prognosis

Abstract: Background: Retroperitoneal fibrosis (RPF) is a rare disease characterized by the presence of inflammatory and fibrous retroperitoneal tissue that often encircles abdominal organs including aorta and ureters. Data on the incidence of this disease are limited. Summary: The disease may be idiopathic or secondary to infections, malignancies, drugs or radiotherapy. Idiopathic form is an immune-mediated entity and a part of the broader spectrum of idiopathic diseases termed chronic periaortitis, characterized by a … Show more

“…Mainly urorenal presentation is reported, although some associations between IAAA and RPF were reported [ 11–13 ] in small series. Therefore, taking into account our long-term clinical experience we presented two subpopulations with RPF in the recent review [ 2 ]. Although glucocorticosteroids have a beneficial effect in most RPF patients, an influence of other drug classes including mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine and colchicine is still not established.…”

“…Taking into account the dominant symptoms and clinical characteristics of patients with RPF we described vascular and urorenal subtypes in the recent review [ 2 ]. The vascular subtype includes patients with inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysm (IAAA) and with RPF around a non-dilated aorta, with numerous risk factors for atherosclerosis.…”

“…idiopathic retroperitoneal fibrosis) jest stosunkowo rzadkim schorzeniem, które charakteryzuje się przewlekłym stanem zapalnym i zwłóknieniem przestrzeni zaotrzewnowej, co może prowadzić do ucisku struktur w jej obrębie [1]. Proliferująca tkanka włóknista często otacza narządy jamy brzusznej, w tym aortę, żyłę główną dolną oraz moczowody [1,2], co implikuje dominujące objawy i stanowi podstawę do podziału choroby na 2 podtypy: naczyniowy i moczowodowo-nerkowy [2].…”

“…Mimo że rozwój wiedzy na temat RPF w ostatnim pięćdziesięcioleciu dostarczył cennych informacji, wiele problemów pozostaje niewyjaśnionych. Mając na uwadze to, iż ze względu na różnorodność objawów rozpoznanie RPF pozostaje trudne i często jest opóźnione [2], dokonaliśmy przeglądu dostępnego piśmiennictwa w celu przedstawienia aktualnych możliwości diagnostycznych i terapeutycznych.…”
