Chimeric antigen receptor T cell–associated nephrotoxicity

Potential Nephrotoxicity
 AKI
  Prerenal AKI/acute tubular injury
   Cytokine release syndrome with capillary leak and hypotension
   Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis with inflammation
   Acute cardiac dysfunction with reduced cardiac output and hypotension
   Intravascular volume depletion from fever, N/V, and diarrhea
  Tumor lysis syndrome
 Electrolyte disorders
  Hypokalemia, hypophosphatemia, and hyponatremia
 Prevention/treatment of toxicity
  Chemotherapy to reduce tumor burden
  Corticosteroids to reduce inflammatory response
  Supportive care for hypotension with vasopressors, iv fluids, and oxygen
  IL-6 blockade with tocilizumab for cytokine release syndrome and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis

N/V, nausea and vomiting.
