Soluble and cell-based markers of immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated nephritis by Sandra M Herrmann, Riley Fadden, Ryan J Sullivan, Kerry L Reynolds, Harish Seethapathy, Meghan E Sise, Shruti Gupta, Alexandra-Chloe Villani, Qiyu Wang, Daiana Moreno, Destiny Harden, R Neal Smith, Ivy A Rosales, Robert B Colvin, Sarah Chute, Lynn D Cornell, Nancy J Yang, Sara Barmettler, Sophia Wells, Jocelyn Farmer

“…Because ICIs block immune checkpoint pathways that include cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA4), we hypothesized that biomarkers of immune dysregulationpreviously defined in patients with congenital CTLA4 deficiency, including elevated soluble interleukin-2 receptor alpha (sIL-2R) and flow cytometric cell-based markers of B and T cell dysregulation in peripheral blood may aid the diagnosis of ICI-nephritis.Methods A retrospective cohort of patients diagnosed with ICI-nephritis was compared with three prospectively enrolled control cohorts: ICI-treated controls without immune-related adverse events, patients not on ICIs with hemodynamic acute kidney injury (hemodynamic AKI), and patients not on ICIs with biopsy proven acute interstitial nephritis from other causes (non-ICI-nephritis). sIL-2R level and flow cytometric parameters were compared between groups using Wilcoxon rank sum test or Kruskal-Wallis test. …”
