BackgroundDespite increasing recognition of the importance of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated AKI, data on this complication of immunotherapy are sparse.MethodsWe conducted a multicenter study of 138 patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated AKI, defined as a ≥2-fold increase in serum creatinine or new dialysis requirement directly attributed to an immune checkpoint inhibitor. We also collected data on 276 control patients who received these drugs but did not develop AKI.ResultsLower baseline eGFR, proton pump inhibitor use, and combination immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy were each independently associated with an increased risk of immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated AKI. Median (interquartile range) time from immune checkpoint inhibitor initiation to AKI was 14 (6–37) weeks. Most patients had subnephrotic proteinuria, and approximately half had pyuria. Extrarenal immune-related adverse events occurred in 43% of patients; 69% were concurrently receiving a potential tubulointerstitial nephritis–causing medication. Tubulointerstitial nephritis was the dominant lesion in 93% of the 60 patients biopsied. Most patients (86%) were treated with steroids. Complete, partial, or no kidney recovery occurred in 40%, 45%, and 15% of patients, respectively. Concomitant extrarenal immune-related adverse events were associated with worse renal prognosis, whereas concomitant tubulointerstitial nephritis–causing medications and treatment with steroids were each associated with improved renal prognosis. Failure to achieve kidney recovery after immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated AKI was independently associated with higher mortality. Immune checkpoint inhibitor rechallenge occurred in 22% of patients, of whom 23% developed recurrent associated AKI.ConclusionsThis multicenter study identifies insights into the risk factors, clinical features, histopathologic findings, and renal and overall outcomes in patients with immune checkpoint inhibitor–associated AKI.

Immunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) has recently been recognized as an autoimmune disorder involving multiple organs. The kidney is a represented organ with a wide range of renal manifestations. The authors report a case of an 83-year-old Thai male with combined IgG4 tubulointerstitial nephritis and membranous nephropathy coexisting with cholangiocarcinoma. The patient presented with proteinuria, acute renal failure, eosinophilia, hypocomplementemia, and high serum IgG4 concentration. The diagnosis was IgG 4-related tubulointerstitial nephritis and membranous nephropathy on renal biopsy, with negative immunohistochemistry for anti-phospholipase A2 receptor antibodies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) abdomen showed two wedge shaped arterial enhancing lesions of liver. Liver biopsy revealed adenocarcinoma, compatible with cholangiocarcinoma. Proteinuria and renal failure were resolved with initial steroid treatment. Meanwhile, IgG4-related membranous nephropathy should be considered in the differential diagnosis for patients with proteinuria. Potentially, IgG4-RD may be rarely associated with carcinoma development. However, further studies are recommended to ratify and confirm the association between IgG4-RD and incidence of malignancies.
