Immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury (ICI-AKI) is the most common renal complication and has attracted increasing amounts of attention. However, studies on this topic in Chinese cancer patients are very limited. Therefore, we conducted a retrospective study on the incidence, risk factors, clinical features and renal recovery of ICI-AKI in all patients with malignancies treated with ICIs in Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong First Medical University.
In this single-center retrospective cohort study, the data of 904 patients who received immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify the predictors of ICI-AKI.
A total of 46 of 904 patients receiving ICIs developed ICI-AKI, and the incidence of ICI-AKI was 5.1%. Patients developed ICI-AKI at a median of 9 weeks (IQR 3-23) after ICIs initiation. A lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and use of antibiotics were associated with a higher risk of ICI-AKI. Renal recovery occurred in 17 patients (46%) at a median of 4 weeks (IQR 2-8) after ICI-AKI, including 16 (43%) with complete recovery and 1 (3%) with partial recovery. Of the 14 rechallenged patients, only one developed recurrent ICI-AKI.
Patients with ICI-AKI were more likely to have impaired renal function at baseline and after treatment with antibiotics. Approximately half of the patients achieved renal recovery.
