The Analysis of Renal Infiltrating Cells in Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis Induced by Anti-PD-1 Antibodies: A Case Report and Review of the Literature

Nivolumab is an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody that is utilized as an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) for cancer therapy. We herein present the case of a 57-year-old man who developed acute kidney injury during treatment with nivolumab for lung cancer. A renal biopsy revealed acute t...

Sumario:Nivolumab is an anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibody that is utilized as an immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) for cancer therapy. We herein present the case of a 57-year-old man who developed acute kidney injury during treatment with nivolumab for lung cancer. A renal biopsy revealed acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated marked infiltration of macrophages and T cells together with mild B cell infiltration. Of note, strong CD163(+) M2 macrophage infiltration was observed. The cessation of nivolumab and high-dose prednisolone therapy improved the renal function of the patient. Further, we review the pertinent literature on renal-infiltrating cells in ICI-induced tubulointerstitial nephritis.
