In this position statement by the American Society of Onco-nephrology (ASON), we summarize the incidence and risk factors for ICI-AKI, pathophysiological mechanisms, and clinicopathologic features of ICI-AKI. We also discuss novel diagnostic approaches and promising biomarkers for ICI-AKI. From expert panel consensus, we provide clinical practice points for the initial assessment and diagnosis of ICI-AKI, management and immunosuppressive therapy, and consideration for rechallenge with ICI following AKI episodes. In addition, we explore ICI use in special populations, such as kidney transplant recipients, and propose key areas of focus for future research and clinical investigation.</p>","PeriodicalId":17801,"journal":{"name":"Kidney international","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.784,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142503094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since data on presentation and outcomes are scarce, we collected clinical, biochemical and genetic data via an online questionnaire and the support of European professional organizations. One hundred thirteen patients (86% children) from 90 families and 17 countries with pathogenic or likely pathogenic variants in SLC34A1 or SLC34A3 and a median follow-up of three years were analyzed. Biallelic SLC34A1 variant carriers showed polyuria, failure to thrive, vomiting, constipation, hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis in infancy, while biallelic SLC34A3 carriers presented in childhood or even adulthood with rickets/osteomalacia and/or osteopenia/osteoporosis, hypophosphatemia and, less frequently, nephrocalcinosis, while the prevalences of kidney stones were comparable. Adult biallelic SLC34A3 carriers had a six-fold increase chronic kidney disease (CKD) prevalence compared to the general population. All biallelic variant carriers shared a common biochemical pattern including elevated 1,25(OH)<sub>2</sub>D and alkaline phosphatase levels, suppressed parathyroid hormone (PTH), and hypercalciuria. Heterozygous carriers showed similar but less pronounced phenotypes. In biallelic SLC34A1 carriers, an attenuation of clinical features was observed after infancy, independent of treatment. Phosphate treatment was given in 55% of patients, median duration two years, and resulted in significant reduction, although not normalization, of alkaline phosphatase and of hypercalciuria but an increase in PTH levels, while 1,25(OH)<sub>2</sub>D levels remained elevated. Thus, our study indicates that biallelic SLC34A1 and SLC34A3 carriers show distinct, albeit overlapping phenotypes, with the latter having an increased risk of CKD in adulthood. Phosphate treatment may promote kidney phosphate loss and enhance 1,25(OH)<sub>2</sub>D synthesis via increased PTH production.</p>","PeriodicalId":17801,"journal":{"name":"Kidney international","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":14.8,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142503096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
