Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed the management of a broad spectrum of cancers as metastatic melanoma, non-small lung cancer or renal cell carcinoma. These humanized monoclonal antibodies target immune-regulatory receptors expressed on T lymphocytes, antigen presenting cells and tumor cells and induce an immunological anti-tumor response. If on the one hand these molecules have led to considerable improvement in survival outcomes, on the other hand these therapies can be associated with immune-related adverse effects (irAEs). While these side effects have become well known, the best diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are still under investigation. The authors discuss pathophysiology, clinical presentation and histological features of ICIs renal toxicity. Furthermore, we focus on kidney transplant (KT) recipients, including the therapeutic adaptation approach to immunosuppression and the risk of rejection.
