Abstract
With the increasing use of immunotherapy, there has been an associated increased survival in many cancers but has also resulted in unregulated organ-specific toxicities. In this review, we will discuss the renal toxicities associated with a checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) from the typical acute tubulointerstitial nephritis to glomerulonephritis and their proposed mechanisms and treatments. We also discuss the use of CPI and reactivation of preexisting autoimmune disease with a focus on renal cell cancer in setting of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Transplant rejection in setting of CPI use has been further evaluated with single-center and multicenter retrospective studies, and available data will be presented in this chapter.Entities:
