Osmotic Nephropathy Induced by L-Proline Stabilized Sucrose-free Intravenous Immunoglobulins: A Case Report.
Article in Kidney medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury following sucrose-free intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) is rare. We report the case of a 67-year-old male who developed a sudden anuric acute kidney injury at day 4 of L-proline stabilized sucrose-free IVIG for a Guillain-Barré Syndrome. The IVIG treatment was halted. The patient did not require renal replacement therapy after an adequate response to diuretics. Amoxicillin was the sole other potential nephrotoxic. The kidney biopsy showed typical features of osmotic nephropathy (ON). Although a certain degree of kidney hypoxia due to dysautonomia and variations of blood pressure might have occurred, histological findings were not compatible with an ischemic acute tubular necrosis. There was no glomerular and vascular involvement. Immunofluorescence of tubular cells cytoplasm was negative, ruling out antibody deposition. The patient had a complete renal recovery after 2 weeks. We hypothesize that proline itself acted as a reabsorbed toxic solute and accumulated in the lysosomes, leading to ON. In this case report we discuss the proline proximal tubular transport, involving pinocytosis in case of high concentration in the filtrate, and potential mechanisms involved in the development of ON.
