Figure 1 |. (a) Massachusetts General Brigham (MGB) cohort study with acute kidney injury (AKI) rates (any AKI incidence and breakdown of stages 1–3); (b) breakdown of the AKI stage in the immune checkpoint inhibitor-associated acute kidney injury (ICPi-AKI) cohort study; (c) AKI recovery rates in the MGB cohort; (d) AKI recovery rates in the ICPi-AKI cohort.
In the ICPi-AKI cohort, there was 1 patient in the triplet therapy group who received kidney replacement therapy (KRT) (4.4%) and was ultimately liberated from KRT, as compared with 2 patients in the pembrolizumab monotherapy group (5.0%) who received KRT, 1 of whom was liberated from KRT. In the MGB cohort, 2 patients received KRT, and neither was liberated from KRT.
