Pembrolizumab-Induced Pancreatic Exocrine Insufficiency Complicated by Severe Hepatic Steatosis
Curēus(2022)
摘要
Anti-programmed death receptor-1 (anti-PD-1) monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are used to treat an increasing range of cancers. However, the distinct toxicity profile of immune-related adverse events (irAEs) is a frequent drawback of their clinical application. Among the more common irAEs are hepatitis and colitis, which are diagnosed and graded in patients based on elevated serum liver enzyme levels and increased stool frequency, respectively, and both of which often require treatment with high-dose corticosteroids. Herein, we describe the case of a patient who developed severe transaminase elevation and diarrhoea due to an unusual irAE, which was successfully treated without corticosteroids.
