Abstract

Summary: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have become a mainstay of cancer therapy, with over 80 FDA‐approved indications. Used in a variety of settings and in combination with each other and with traditional chemotherapies, the hyperactive immune response induced by ICIs can often lead to immune‐related adverse events in bystander normal tissues such as the kidneys, lungs, and the heart. In the kidneys, this immune‐related adverse event manifests as acute interstitial nephritis (ICI‐AIN). In the era of widespread ICI use, it becomes vital to understand the clinical manifestations of ICI‐AIN and the importance of prompt diagnosis and management of these complications. In this review, we delve into the clinical phenotypes of ICI‐AIN and how they differ from traditional drug‐induced AIN. We also detail what is known about the mechanistic underpinnings of ICI‐AIN and the important diagnostic and therapeutic implications behind harnessing those mechanisms to further our understanding of these events and to formulate effective treatment plans to manage ICI‐AIN.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
