This case provides valuable insight into the etiology of FSGS that can occur as a renal immune-related AE of PD-1 inhibitor therapy. Therefore, patients should undergo evaluation for renal function and urinalysis at baseline and after treatment. If patients treated with PD-1 inhibitors present with renal injury and/or unexplained proteinuria >1 g/day, we would recommend a kidney biopsy to determine the underlying cause and establish an appropriate therapeutic plan.
