2. Figure 1
Representative images of CPI-induced AKI. Core needle-biopsy specimens (a–c) from patient 9 show “typical” features of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis; (d) from patient 2 show granulomatous acute tubulointerstitial nephritis; (e,f) from patient 8 show acute thrombotic microangiopathy. (a) Periodic acid-Schiff stain shows diffuse interstitial inflammation and focal severe tubulitis with infiltrating lymphocytes (arrows, ×200; bar = 50 μm). (b) Hematoxylin and eosin stain shows diffuse interstitial infiltrates predominantly composed of lymphocytes, with several eosinophils (arrows, ×400; bar = 25 μm). (c) Immunohistochemistry reveals the lymphocytic infiltrates in the interstitium to be predominantly CD4+ T cells (×40; bar = 100 μm). (d) Periodic acid-Schiff stain shows a noncaseating granuloma with multinucleated giant cells (yellow arrows), severe interstitial inflammation and tubulitis (blue arrows), and severe glomerulitis (black arrow, ×200; bar = 50 μm). (e) Silver stain shows diffusely wrinkled glomerular basement membranes and “onion-skin” lesion of small arteries (arrow, ×200; bar = 50 μm). (f) Electron microscopy shows swollen endothelium and subintimal widening filled with electron-lucent “fluffy” material (arrows, ×1400; bar = 4 μm). Larger versions of these images are shown in Supplementary Figure S1. AKI, acute kidney injury; CPI, checkpoint inhibitor.

3. Figure 2
Time course of events and response to treatment. Solid black arrows indicate initiation of steroids (dosing regimens are provided in Table 3). Open arrows indicate initiation of hemodialysis (patients 3 and 12 received 3 sessions of hemodialysis and subsequently recovered; patients 6 and 8 remained dialysis-dependent). Day 0 refers to checkpoint inhibitor initiation.

5. Figure 3
Estimated incidence of CPI-associated AKI. *P < 0.01 for each of the following comparisons: Ipi + Nivo compared to Ipi alone, Nivo alone, and Pembro alone. AKI, acute kidney injury; CPI, checkpoint inhibitor; Ipi, ipilimumab; Nivo, nivolumab; Pembro, pembrolizumab.
