    Abstract Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is a rare syndrome of unknown etiology; however, it is believed that an abnormality of immune response after a previous infection may be the cause of the disease. We report neuralgic amyotrophy in a patient with a history of kidney transplantation with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 infection. This literature is reviewed regarding clinical presentation, etiology, treatment, and prognosis of PTS after COVID-19 infection. We should consider PTS as another complication of COVID-19 infection.

    Abstract Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies are significantly specific for detecting anti-glomerular basement membrane disease. These antibodies are typically targeted against the non-collagenous (NC1) domain of the alpha 3 chain of type IV collagen and, to a lesser extent, the α4(IV) or α5(IV) chains, which create a triple-helical structure in the glomerular basement membrane. The modification of the hexameric structure of NC1 (α3(IV)) results in the exposure of new epitopes, leading to an immune reaction and the subsequent deposition of linear antibodies along the glomerular basement membrane, culminating in crescentic glomerulonephritis. Anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies that are positive are believed to be pathogenic and capable of binding to the glomerular basement membrane in vivo, particularly in the context of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. Herein, we present a patient with positive serum anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies but negative IgG deposition. The current findings are significant for raising physicians' awareness of the probable errors in detecting anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease as a possible cause of irreversible kidney failure.

    Abstract Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of intradialytic cycling exercise on quality of life (QOL) and recovery time in patients who underwent hemodialysis.
    Materials and methods: Hemodialysis patients were recruited from the referral dialysis centers affiliated with Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. Patients were randomly assigned into the intervention and the control groups. Patients in the intervention group exercised on a stationary bike for 12 weeks (3 times per week for 30 min); however, patients in the control group received usual hemodialysis. The kidney disease QOL (KDQOL)-short-form version 1.3 was used to assess QOL. Patients were asked to answer the question "How long does it take to recover from a dialysis session?" to assess recovery time.
    Results: A total of 110 hemodialysis patients, including 60 in the intervention group and 50 in the control group were analyzed. A significant increase was observed in the generic (mean difference ± SE: 1.50 ± 0.44,
    Conclusion: KDQOL and recovery time could improve in hemodialysis patients after 12-week intradialytic exercise.

Furthermore, a significant difference was noted between the intervention and the control group regarding the mean difference of all QOL scores after the intervention (P < 0.05). We also found a significant difference in the mean difference of recovery time between the intervention and the control group after the intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusion: KDQOL and recovery time could improve in hemodialysis patients after 12-week intradialytic exercise.

    Abstract Metabolic acidosis (MA) may play a key role in the pathogenesis of protein-energy wasting (PEW) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). To present a comprehensive synthesis of the effect of oral sodium bicarbonate (SB) supplementation on anthropometric measures in patients with CKD, a systematic review was undertaken in PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Google Scholar, of relevant articles published prior to September 2022. The summary statistics of effect size, nonstandardized weighted mean difference (WMD), and 95% confidence interval (CI) were used to compare the effects of SB supplementation on anthropometric parameters vs. control group. To detect probable sources of heterogeneity, a series of predefined subgroup analyses were conducted. In total, 17 studies with 21 treatment arms, including 2203 participants (1149 cases, 1054 controls), met our inclusion criteria and were included in the meta-analysis. SB supplementation had no significant effect on body weight (BW), midarm muscle circumference (MAMC), or lean body mass (LBM) in patients with CKD. There was a significant increase in body mass index (BMI) (MD: 0.59 kg/m

    Abstract The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of linagliptin on microalbuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN). The present double-blind randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial was performed on 92 patients with DN who were divided into two groups. The intervention and control groups received linagliptin 5 mg and placebo for 24 weeks, respectively. Blood pressure, lipid profile, liver enzymes, fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and urine albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) were assessed and recorded before, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks after the beginning of the intervention. The mean value of UACR decrease was significant over time in both groups, with higher decrease in linagliptin group, however, the differences between two groups were not, statistically significant (P > 0.05). However, the percentage of improvement in microalbuminuria (UACR < 30 mg/g) in the linagliptin group was significantly higher than that of the control group during 24 weeks of intervention (68.3% vs. 25%; P-value < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean value of the UACR and other parameters between linagliptin treated and placebo treated patients with diabetic nephropathy. Further studies, with longer periods of follow-up are suggested to examine these patients' renal outcomes.
