Background/Aim: There are few reports about the administration of nivolumab plus ipilimumab to hemodialysis patients and their efficacy and safety have not been established yet. Case Report: A 74-year-old male, who was receiving hemodialysis, was presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC). Two years later, more metastases were found, hence, immunotherapy involving nivolumab plus ipilimumab was initiated. After two doses of immunotherapy, interstitial pneumonia was observed. Thus, steroid pulse therapy was administered immediately. Subsequently, computed tomography (CT) findings and symptoms improved markedly. One month later, a CT scan showed a nodular shadow and an air cavity. A fungal infection was strongly suspected, so an antifungal drug was administered. Conclusion: Combination immunotherapy with nivolumab plus ipilimumab was demonstrated to be effective in a hemodialysis patient with mRCC.

A 66-year-old Asian woman presented with severe kidney injury, microscopic haematuria and subnephrotic range proteinuria with elevated serum anti-glomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) titre. She had a history of renal cell carcinoma. Renal biopsy revealed dual pathology with immunofluorescence showing 3+ linear glomerular IgG staining and 3+ IgA mesangial staining. Cellular crescents were present on light microscopy and electron microscopy revealed increased mesangial matrix. She was treated with plasma exchange and immunosuppression and remained in stage 4 chronic kidney disease. This case describes the coexistence of anti-GBM disease and IgA nephropathy, a phenomenon not well described in the literature. The report also explores the association of malignancy and glomerulonephritis as well as the role of genetics and the utility of human leukocyte antigen (HLA) typing in risk stratification.
