- Immune checkpoint inhibitors, used in cancer treatment, can cause immune-related side effects, with kidney involvement being rare; this report details the first known case of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis in a patient using anti-PD-L1 after contracting COVID-19.* -
- A 62-year-old cancer patient experienced severe respiratory symptoms and acute kidney injury, leading to a diagnosis of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis through kidney biopsy, with further testing confirming a COVID-19 infection.* -
- The patient was effectively treated with corticosteroids, resulting in restored kidney function, prompting speculation that viral infections, combined with checkpoint inhibitors, may increase the risk of autoimmune responses affecting the kidneys.*
