Sci Rep

December 2024

Department of Clinical Nutrition, School of Nutritional Sciences and Dietetics, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, No: 44, Hojjat-dost Alley, Naderi St., Keshavarz Blvd, PO Box: 14155-6117, Tehran, Iran.

No previous study has examined the association of an acid-base imbalanced diet to autoimmune bullous disease. The present study aimed to investigate the association between dietary acid load (DAL) as either potential renal acid load (PRAL) and net endogenous acid production (NEAP) intake on the odds of high-severity Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV) disease in adult Iranian patients to fill this gap. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 138 patients, aged 18-65 years with confirmed diagnoses of PV in a referral university center for autoimmune bullous diseases.
