Review of previous report on carboplatin-related acute interstitial nephritis and comparison with this case

Age Sex Malignancy Treatment regimen of cisplatin administered before carboplatin Treatment regimen of carboplatin Serum creatinine (mg/dL) Renal pathological features Therapeutic intervention and renal prognosis References
54 Female Anaplastic ovarian carcinoma

6 courses of intravenous therapy (60 mg/m2)

6 courses of intraperitoneal therapy (200 mg/m2)

4 courses of intraperitoneal therapy (200 mg/m2 for the first course, and 300 mg/m2 for the next three cycles) 0.9 → 8.2 within 7 days In the interstitium, a moderate number of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils diffusely surrounding the tubules were infiltrated. The pathologic findings were consistent with focal, moderate interstitial nephritis Oral prednisone was administered at a dose of 60 mg/day for 4 weeks. The serum creatinine decreased to 4.3 mg/dL [12]
62 Female Serous cystadenocarcinoma of the ovary

6 courses of intravenous therapy (50 mg/m2)

6 courses of intraperitoneal therapy (200 mg/m2 for the first 4 cycles, and

100 mg/m2 for the last 2 treatments)

5 courses of intraperitoneal therapy

(200 mg/m2 for the first course, and 300 mg/m2 for the last 4 cycles)

1.3 → 9.5 within 5 days Marked tubular atrophy was present. The interstitium was markedly edematous and contained a mild, but diffuse, infiltration of mononuclear cells with focal areas of interstitial hemorrhage

Prednisone at a dose of 60 mg/day was initiated orally for a 4-week course

Finally, her serum creatinine recovered to 2.0 mg/dL

[12]
53 Male Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor 1 course of intravenous therapy (60 mg/m2) 1 course of intravenous therapy (300 mg) 1.24 → 6.81 within 8 days A large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated into the interstitium. The major population of infiltrating cells was mononuclear cells. Eosinophils and plasma cells were few. Immunostaining of surface markers was observed mainly with CD3 and CD68 positive cells Oral prednisolone was started at a dose of 40 mg/day. The steroids were remarkably effective, and the serum creatinine level decreased to 1.43 mg/dL 15 days after treatment This case
