Abstract
The process of aging inevitably leads to an increase in age-related comorbidities, including chronic kidney disease (CKD). In many aspects, CKD can be considered a state of accelerated and premature aging. Aging kidney and CKD have numerous common characteristic features, ranging from pathological presentation and clinical manifestation to underlying mechanisms. The shared mechanisms underlying the process of kidney aging and the development of CKD include the increase in cellular senescence, the decrease in autophagy, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the alterations of epigenetic regulation, suggesting the existence of potential therapeutic targets that are applicable to both conditions. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the common characteristics between aging kidney and CKD, encompassing morphological changes, functional alterations, and recent advancements in understanding the underlying mechanisms. Moreover, we discuss potential therapeutic strategies for targeting senescent cells in both the aging process and CKD.

Clin Kidney J 2024; 17:sfae123. [PMID: 38915438 PMCID: PMC11195623 DOI: 10.1093/ckj/sfae123] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/26/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been reported after CAR-T cells, but available data are limited. We sought to describe the incidence of AKI in a cohort of patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) following CAR-T cell reinjection, identify the primary factors linked to the onset of AKI, and ascertain the key determinants associated with kidney outcomes and mortality. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 119 patients hospitalized in ICU after CAR-T cell therapy between 2017 and 2023. Factors associated with AKI, mortality, and kidney sequelae were identified using multivariate analyses. Results Of the 119 patients, 41 patients fulfilled diagnostic criteria of AKI (34%). By multivariate analysis, grade ≥3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) [OR = 1.20 CI95% (1.01-1.43)] and elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels at admission [OR = 1.44 CI95% (1.04-1.99)] were significantly associated with the occurrence of AKI during ICU stay. AKI KDIGO ≥2 was an independent risk factor for hospital mortality [OR = 1.50 (1.22-1.85), P < 0.001]. Nine out of 12 (75%) and 6/9 (67%) patients who had experienced AKI and survived had chronic kidney disease (CKD) at 6 months and 1 year, respectively. We did not identify any specific factor associated with kidney recovery. Conclusion AKI may occur in ICU patients receiving CAR-T cell therapy, especially those who experience CRS and exhibit elevated LDH levels. Early recognition of AKI is of utmost importance as it substantially compromises survival in these patients. Future studies should aim to elucidate the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of AKI in this context and pinpoint predictive factors for long-term risks of CKD.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Cancer therapies continue to evolve at a rapid pace and although novel treatments, including immunotherapies and targeted therapies have allowed for substantial improvements in cancer survival, they carry associated risks of acute kidney injury (AKI). We aim to summarize the existing literature on AKI associated with the spectrum of systemic cancer treatments, including conventional chemotherapies, newer immunotherapies, and the growing number of targeted cancer therapies, which may be associated with both AKI and 'pseudo-AKI'. RECENT FINDINGS Conventional cytotoxic chemotherapies (e.g. cisplatin and other platinum-based agents, methotrexate, pemetrexed, ifosfamide, etc.) with well recognized nephrotoxicities (predominantly tubulointerstitial injury) remain in widespread use. Immunotherapies (e.g., immune checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T therapies) may be associated with kidney immune-related adverse events, most often acute interstitial nephritis, and rarely, glomerular disease. Recently, multiple targeted cancer therapies have been associated with reduced renal tubular secretion of creatinine, causing elevations in serum creatinine and apparent 'pseudo-AKI'. To complicate matters further, these agents have had biopsy-proven, 'true' kidney injury attributed to them in numerous case reports. SUMMARY Clinicians in nephrology and oncology must be aware of the various potential kidney risks with these agents and recognize those with clinically meaningful impact on both cancer and kidney outcomes.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies offer substantial advancement in the treatment of multiple myeloma (MM). However, the CAR-T therapy process involves complex decision-making that is informed by many variables. This review aims to provide an overview of the patient selection and administration process for CAR-T therapy for MM from the perspective of experienced healthcare providers (HCPs), including considerations for each step in the CAR-T therapy process. Referring HCPs should initiate conversations with HCPs at CAR-T capable centers earlier in the treatment journey, even before patients are eligible for CAR-T therapy, particularly for patients from underserved populations and patients with high-risk disease, to ensure adequate time for logistical planning and patient education. Patient selection for CAR-T therapy may be guided by factors such as performance status, rate of disease progression, and logistical considerations. Some anticancer therapies may affect T-cell fitness and therefore impact CAR-T manufacturing and patient outcomes; however, additional research is needed to confirm this in MM. Bridging therapies should be tailored to the needs of the patient and ideally halted 1 week or longer before CAR-T infusion, contingent upon the agent(s) used. Lymphodepletion regimens may need to be modified for patients with renal insufficiency. Collaboration with HCPs at both the treating and referring centers is important to optimize coordinated care of patients. Collaboration with and guidance from experienced HCPs throughout patient selection, referral, and CAR-T administration is instrumental in optimizing patient outcomes as access to CAR-T therapies expands.

Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy is a form of immunotherapy where the lymphocytes, mostly T-cells, are redirected to specifically recognize and eliminate a target antigen by coupling them with CARs. The binding of CAR and target cell surface antigens leads to vigorous T cell activation and robust anti-tumor immune responses. Areas of implication of CAR T-cell therapies include mainly hematological malignancies (i.e., advanced B-cell cancers); however, recent studies have proven the unprecedented success of the new immunotherapy also in autoimmune rheumatic diseases. We aim to review the recent advances in CAR T-cell therapies in rheumatology but also to address the limitations of their use in the real clinical practice based on the data on their efficacy and safety.

Abstract
Cell therapy, specifically the revolutionary chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy, has transformed the landscape of oncology, making substantial strides in practical treatment approaches. Today, established guidelines for diseases such as lymphomas, myelomas, and leukemias actively advocate the utilization of these once-unconventional therapies. The practical impact of these therapies is underscored by their unparalleled efficacy, reshaping the way we approach and implement treatments in the realm of oncology. However, CAR T-cell therapy, with its performance in anti-tumor aggression through cellular action and inflammatory response, also comes with various adverse events, one of which is kidney injury. Therefore, the management of these side effects is extremely important. The integration of knowledge between oncologists and specialized nephrologists has led to the emergence of a new sub-area of expertise for onco-nephrologists specializing in managing kidney complications from immune effector therapies.

Abstract
Various complications can influence hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) outcomes. Renal complications can occur during the early to late phases of HCT along with various factors. However, studies focusing on fatal renal complications (FRCs) are scarce. Herein, we analyzed 36,596 first allogeneic HCT recipients retrospectively. Overall, 782 patients died of FRCs at a median of 108 (range, 0-3,440) days after HCT. The cumulative incidence of FRCs was 1.7% and 2.2% at one and five years, respectively. FRCs were associated with older age, male sex, non-complete remission (non-CR), lower performance status (PS), and HCT comorbidity index (HCT-CI) associated with renal comorbidity in multivariate analysis. The risk factors within 100 days included older age, multiple myeloma, PS, and HCT-CI comorbidities (psychiatric disturbance, hepatic disease, obesity, and renal disease). Older age and male sex were risk factors between 100 days and one year. After one year, HCT-CI was associated with the presence of diabetes and prior solid tumor; total body irradiation was identified as a risk factor. Non-CR was a common risk factor in all three phases. Furthermore, acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease, reactivation of cytomegalovirus, and relapse of underlying disease also affected FRCs. Systematic follow-up may be necessary based on the patients' risk factors and post-HCT events.

Abstract
Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 30% of patients infused with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cells. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors and long-term outcomes after AKI in patients who received CAR T-cell therapy. Methods Medical records of 115 adult patients with R/R hematological malignancies treated with CD19-targeted CAR T-cells at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital between July 2018 and May 2021. Baseline demographic data including age, gender, ethnicity, body mass index (BMI), and co-morbidities, as well as the type of hematological neoplasia and prior lines of therapy were collected. Laboratory parameters including serum creatinine and whole blood hemoglobin were retrospectively reviewed and values were gathered for days +1, +7, +14, +21, and +28 post-infusion. Results A total of 24/115 (21%) patients developed AKI related to CAR T-cell therapy; 6/24 with AKI over chronic kidney disease (CKD). Two patients had AKI in the context of lymphodepleting (LD) chemotherapy and the other 22 after CAR T-cell infusion, starting at day+1 in 3 patients, day+7 in 13 patients, day +14 in 1 patient, day+21 in 2 patients, and day+28 in 3 patients. Renal function was recovered in 19/24 (79%) patients within the first month after infusion. Male gender, CKD, cytokine release syndrome (CRS), and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) were associated with AKI. Male gender, CKD, ICANS grade ≥3 and CRS grade ≥2 were identified as independent risk factors for AKI on multivariable analysis. In terms of the most frequent CAR T-cell related complications, CRS was observed in 95 (82%) patients and ICANS in 33 (29%) patients. Steroids were required in 34 (30%) patients and tocilizumab in 37 (32%) patients. Six (5%) patients were admitted to the intensive care unit (1 for septic shock, 4 for CRS grade ≥2 associated to ICANS grade ≥2, and 1 for CRS grade ≥3). A total of 5 (4.4%) patients died in the first 30 days after CAR T-cell infusion for reasons other than disease progression, including 4 cases of infectious complications and 1 of heart failure. Conclusion Our results suggest that AKI is a frequent but mild adverse event, with fast recovery in most patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Onconephrology was first coined as a name for the intersection of cancer medicine and nephrology in the early 2010s. It was recognized then that beyond and understanding of kidney physiology, a new generation of nephrologists skilled in both molecular biology and precision medicine were needed to deal with the challenges of emerging cancer therapies. Stem cell transplants, biologic agents, adjuvants blocking basic cellular signaling pathways, immunotherapy were found to promote novel anticancer outcomes, but also to pose new risks to the kidneys. The field rapidly overlapped with emerging expertise in vascular glomerular disease, glomerular disease, and the same biologic agents now applied to auto immune systemic and kidney diseases. RECENT FINDINGS Many categories of chemotherapeutic agents have been discovered to have adverse renal side effects. In this review, we address classic chemotherapeutic nephrotoxicity and oncologic clinical situations leading to acute kidney injury. We also review the frontiers of nephrotoxicity reported with cell cycle inhibitors, diverse classes of tyrosine kinase inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy, anticancer vaccines, and thrombotic microangiopathies triggered by malignancy and chemotherapy. The aim will be to focus on published strategies to mitigate nephrotoxicity. SUMMARY As onconephrology expands into its own field, it gives birth to new subdisciplines. An understanding that patient populations want the benefits of chemotherapy without the renal (and other) systemic toxicities is emerging. A need to develop a new class of molecular and genetic experts in onconephrology to mitigate nephrotoxicity from chemotherapy is apparent and urgent.
