Article Synopsis
  • Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), like tislelizumab, have improved cancer treatment but can cause unique immune-related adverse events (irAEs), particularly endocrine issues.
  • A case study highlighted a 49-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma who developed severe thyrotoxicosis after treatment, requiring close monitoring and intervention.
  • While levels of toxicity from ICIs can be serious, the overall benefits of ICI therapy usually outweigh these risks, emphasizing the need for healthcare professionals to recognize and manage thyroid-related irAEs effectively.

Blood concentration monitoring plays an important role in the rational use of norvancomycin. However, the reference interval for the norvancomycin plasma concentration in the treatment of infections in hemodialysis patients with end stage kidney disease is undefined. To determine the safe and effective interval for the norvancomycin plasma trough concentration, 39 patients treated with hemodialysis and norvancomycin were analyzed retrospectively.
