Abstract
Aim: To explore the incidence, risk factorsand overall outcome of the first episode of immune checkpoint inhibitor-related acute kidney injury (ICI-AKI) in Chinese patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors. Methods: Data for patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors at Jiangsu Province Hospital between December 2017 and January 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Results: A total of5.6% of 551 patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors developed ICI-AKI. Concomitant use of NSAIDs, ICI cyclesand extrarenal immune-related adverse eventsmay be independently associated with ICI-AKI. ICI-AKI may not be a risk factor for increased mortality or worse progression-free survival. Conclusions: ICI-AKI is relatively rare and its occurrence may not affect the overall 6-month outcome of patients receiving PD-1 inhibitors. Further studies are needed to verify these findings.
