Primary Membranous Nephropathy Flare After COVID-19 Vaccination

Sep 2024 DOI 10.14302/issn.2574-4488.jna-24-5219
Kelly V. LiangCorresponding author

Primary membranous nephropathy (MN) is due to autoantibodies to phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R Ab). It is unclear whether COVID-19 vaccines can trigger flares of glomerular diseases such as primary MN. There have been increasing reports of glomerular diseases presenting or flaring after receipt of…

Amged Hussen AbdelrhmanCorresponding author

Background Anemia of chronic disease is anemia found in certain chronic disease states, is typically marked by the disturbance of iron homeostasis or hypoferremia. Chronic renal failure is currently known as Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or Chronic Renal Insufficiency (CRI) implies long-standing, pro…

A Rare Cause of Fever of Unknown Origin: Reverse Shapiro’s Syndrome

Mar 2019 DOI 10.14302/issn.2474-3585.jpmc-19-2655
Habip GedikCorresponding author

Reverse Shapiro’s syndrome is described as unexplained hyperthermia coexisting with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Its pathophysiology dwells on the role of dopaminergic hypersensitivity caused by hypothalamic dysfunction. Until now, only 5 cases have been described in the literature as reverse Sh…
