Renal Immune-Related Adverse Events Of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor

The status of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICPIs) is raising in the treatment of malignancy for their effectiveness. The ICPIs therapy takes the risk of off-target toxicity because of immune system overactivation, including renal toxicity. It was declared that the renal toxicity was rare. However, with the increasing experience of ICPIs therapy, the renal immune-relate adverse events of ICPIs were reported more and their management was launching an enthusiastic discussion nowadays. In this review, we focused on the mechanism of ICPIs related renal irAEs (immune-related adverse events), the clinical and pathological manifestation of different forms of renal injury, and management strategies when the renal irAEs happened. Good management of irAEs might need help from Multi-Disciplinary Treatment and could promote a better clinical practice on ICPIs.
