Summary
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) like pembrolizumab can cause acute kidney injury (AKI). Early recognition and corticosteroid treatment of this pembrolizumab-induced AKI are crucial for kidney recovery.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Nephrology
- Immunology
Background:
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are vital in cancer therapy, including for triple-negative breast cancer.
- Immune-related adverse events (irAEs) are known complications of ICIs, affecting multiple organs.
- Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a potential irAE that requires careful monitoring.
