Nivolumab belongs to immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). ICIs-induced kidney injury is rare and acute interstitial nephritis (AIN) is the majority. A 58-year-old woman had gastric cancer treated with nivolumab. Her serum creatinine (Cr) increased to 5.94 mg/dL post 2 cycles of nivolumab and co-administered with acemetacin. A kidney biopsy showed acute tubular injury (ATI). Nivolumab rechallenge was done and Cr worsened again. The lymphocyte transformation test (LTT) indicated a strong positive for nivolumab. Although rare, ATI due to ICIs could not be ruled out, and LTT is a tool to identify the culprit.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease. Current treatments for DKD do not halt renal injury progression, highlighting an urgent need for therapies targeting key disease mechanisms. Our previous studies demonstrated that activating the Sigma-1 receptor (S1R) with fluvoxamine (FLU) protects against acute kidney injury by inhibiting inflammation and ameliorating the effect of hypoxia.

: Despite the prevalence of impaired renal function in acute heart failure (AHF) patients, the intricate relationship between glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal function remains unexplored. We aimed to investigate the co-occurrence of glomerular, tubular, and metabolic renal dysfunction in AHF and their impact on prognosis. : eGFR, spot urine sodium, and HCO were measured in 243 patients hospitalized for AHF.

Cisplatin nephrotoxicity is a significant clinical issue, and currently, no approved drug exists to prevent cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (AKI). This study investigated whether sodium phenylbutyrate (4-PBA), a chemical chaperone, can prevent cisplatin-induced AKI. Six consecutive days of intraperitoneal injections of 4-PBA were administered in a murine model before and after the cisplatin challenge.

Cisplatin is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of a wide array of cancers. Due to its active transport into the kidney proximal tubule cells, cisplatin treatment can cause a buildup of this nephrotoxic compound in the kidney, resulting in acute kidney injury (AKI). About 30% of patients receiving cisplatin chemotherapy develop cisplatin-induced AKI.

Background: Cisplatin-induced acute kidney injury (CKI) represents a severe renal dysfunction characterized by DNA damage and tubular injury. Fraxetin, derived from the Chinese herb Qinpi (Fraxinus bungeana A.DOC), is recognized for its neuroprotective effects and has been used for the prevention of various diseases.
