Nivolumab-associated Nephrotic Syndrome in a Patient With Renal Cell Carcinoma: A Case Report

Abstract: The time course in this patient strongly suggests that the nephrotic syndrome occurred as an adverse drug reaction to nivolumab treatment. If during nivolumab treatment renal insufficiency, hypoalbuminemia, or proteinuria develops, further analysis for a possible nephrotic syndrome is warranted for early detection and treatment of this life-threatening complication.

“…[82][83][84][85][86][87] Retrospective analyses and case reports describe the use of mycophenolate in the management of steroid-refractory irAEs, including those involving the liver, kidney, pancreas, and eyes. 43,[88][89][90][91] Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used to suppress a wide array of autoimmune and chronic inflammatory conditions. 92,93 It is comprised of pooled immunoglobulin G harvested from the plasma of healthy blood donors and prepared for intravenous administration.…”

“…with CPI therapy, five studies noted an overall pooled relative (Table 3); however, several others have also been described. 55,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64] On the basis of abstracts and unpublished data, however, the incidence of nephrotoxicity may be rising (9.9%-29%). 65 Two patients with granulomatous AIN complicating ipilimumab therapy were reported in 2014.…”

“…57,60 Finally, although AIN is by far the most common nephrotoxicity of CPI therapy, patients with immune complex GN, MCD, FSGS, and TMA have also been reported (Table 3). 55,57,[62][63][64][69][70][71] Kidney Transplantation Rejection CPI therapy in patients with kidney transplants and cancer raises concern for development of rejection. Current literature notes kidney rejection in one of three patients exposed to ipilimumab alone and eight of 14 rejection episodes with PD-1 inhibitor therapy.…”
