ICI-AKI presents diagnostic and management challenges and can influence decisions regarding immunosuppression and ICI rechallenge, with important implications for both kidney and cancer outcomes. An international, multidisciplinary panel convened at the 34th Acute Disease Quality Initiative (ADQI) consensus conference in September 2024. Systematic literature searches of PubMed were conducted to identify studies on the epidemiology, mechanisms, diagnosis, management, rechallenge, and outcomes of ICI-AKI. The meeting followed the established ADQI process and used a modified Delphi method to achieve consensus. Evidence was reviewed and appraised by workgroups, and consensus statements were developed through structured discussion and voting. Observational data suggest that AKI occurs in up to 20% of patients receiving ICIs, with ICI-AKI accounting for approximately 2%-5% of cases. Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is the most common lesion, observed in 80%-90% of biopsies, although glomerular diseases are increasingly recognized. No clinical features reliably distinguish ICI-AKI from other causes of AKI, and kidney biopsy remains the diagnostic gold standard. Emerging urinary, circulating, and imaging biomarkers show promise but are not yet ready for routine clinical use. Early glucocorticoid initiation (within 3 days of ICI-AKI diagnosis versus >3 days after diagnosis) is associated with higher rates of kidney recovery, although optimal dosing and duration remain uncertain. Recurrent ICI-AKI occurs in fewer than 20% of patients undergoing ICI rechallenge. Management of high-risk populations, including kidney transplant recipients and patients with autoimmune disease or advanced CKD, requires individualized, multidisciplinary decision making. ICI-AKI is an important and potentially reversible complication of cancer immunotherapy; these consensus statements provide a framework for diagnosis and management, support cautious ICI rechallenge in selected patients, and identify priorities for future research.</p>","PeriodicalId":17217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Nephrology","volume":" ","pages":"2329-2344"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13641466/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148648785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For nephrologists, these conditions sit at a critical intersection: CKD is among the strongest risk factors of preeclampsia, and pregnancy itself can unmask previously unrecognized kidney disease. The physiologic demands of gestation stress renal and vascular reserve in ways that make the pregnant and immediately postpartum patient particularly vulnerable. Preeclampsia, driven by placental release of antiangiogenic factors and widespread maternal endothelial dysfunction, produces acute cardiorenal injury that does not entirely resolve with delivery. Postpartum hypertension peaks between days 3 and 6 after delivery and is under-recognized, yet this period carries the greatest risk of preventable maternal death, with cardiovascular causes accounting for more than one third of pregnancy-related deaths. Beyond the acute phase, women with hypertensive pregnancies face accelerated trajectories toward chronic hypertension, CKD, and overall cardiometabolic risks that compound with each affected pregnancy. The postpartum visit represents a critical and underutilized opportunity to identify women who warrant nephrology evaluation, initiate renoprotective therapy, and interrupt a long-term cardiorenal disease course. Nephrologists are well positioned to recognize cardiorenal sequelae of hypertensive pregnancy and ensure that the postpartum period is not a missed opportunity for intervention. This review addresses the diagnosis, pathophysiology, and management of hypertensive disorders across the full peripartum continuum, with particular attention to the role of nephrologists in recognizing kidney disease that pregnancy has brought to light and in ensuring that delivery is not treated as a clinical end point.</p>","PeriodicalId":17217,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Nephrology","volume":" ","pages":"2306-2318"},"PeriodicalIF":9.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13641443/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148669820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
