Abstract
Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is a unique type of chronic pancreatitis in which pathogenesis involves autoimmune mechanism. During the past decade, several different diagnostic criteria for AIP have been reported from various countries. A set of international consensus diagnostic criteria and algorithm for AIP has recently been proposed by a consensus of expert opinion. The goal of the international consensus diagnostic criteria and algorithm for AIP is to develop criteria that can be applied worldwide, taking into consideration the marked differences in clinical practice patterns between countries. They also aim at diagnosing AIP nonsurgically and avoiding misdiagnosis of pancreatobiliary malignancies as AIP. This review discusses the recent advances in the diagnosis and management of AIP based on the international consensus diagnostic criteria. We also suggest modified algorithm for diagnosing AIP for Korean practice.
