Describes how this page is sourced, not how dangerous the drug is. Thinly sourced means fewer of the sourcing signals are met — not that the agent is kidney-safe. A rule-based summary, not a formal certainty appraisal.
A CD19xCD3 BiTE whose renal risk is driven by cytokine release and tumor lysis rather than direct nephrotoxicity.
Signature lesion
Acute kidney injury is predominantly secondary to cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) rather than a direct drug effect; renal injury is described mainly at the case/series level and is not robustly quantified as a primary endpoint. By analogy to immune-effector-cell therapies, AKI is generally low-grade and rapidly reversible when the syndrome is controlled.Source: Gutgarts et al., Biol Blood Marrow Transplant 2020
Early — first days of an infusion cycle (CRS) or with rapid cytoreduction (TLS).
Distilled from: “Early, typically during the first days of an infusion cycle (CRS) or with rapid tumor cytoreduction (TLS), concentrated around initiation and dose step-up.”
This agent's kidney lesions ordered by prominence — the #1 signature lesion first, then secondary and rare patterns. Cited incidence is shown where a citable figure exists; otherwise the tier stands qualitatively.
Renal hypoperfusion from capillary leak and cytokine storm — IL-2 and CAR-T cytokine release syndrome.
Direct death of tubular epithelial cells — the dose-limiting lesion of the platinums and zoledronate.
Intratubular precipitation of drug or metabolite — high-dose methotrexate and tumor lysis crystals.

Prerenal / Hemodynamic AKI
Renal hypoperfusion from capillary leak and cytokine storm — IL-2 and CAR-T cytokine release syndrome.
Bispecific T-cell engager (BiTE) that simultaneously binds CD19 on B cells and CD3 on T cells, forming an immunologic synapse that redirects polyclonal cytotoxic T cells to lyse CD19-positive leukemic blasts independent of MHC or co-stimulation. Used in B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

7 primary references — trials, cohorts, mechanism, and reviews. Single-patient case reports are listed separately below, graded by strength. Citation metadata via PubMed / NLM.
Primary (non–case-report) references per year — a proxy for how actively the agent's renal literature is accruing. Recent years are highlighted. Reflects curation depth, not a systematic bibliometric count.
Single-patient and small-series reports, graded by evidentiary strength — A Strong (biopsy-proven plus a series and/or positive rechallenge), B Moderate, and C Limited (a single clinically-diagnosed case). Strongest first. Grades are inferred automatically from each report's abstract and journal — a heuristic ranking aid, not a formal quality appraisal.

Everything below is FAERS — adverse events someone chose to report, about 10,373 of them for this agent. Nobody counts the patients who were fine, so none of these numbers is an incidence, a risk, or a rate: they describe what gets reported, shaped by a drug's fame, its indication, and who was watching. How these numbers work.
Only significant signals appear (95% CI lower bound above 1) — a phenotype missing here was tested and did not reach significance, except Prerenal / Hemodynamic AKI, Pseudo-AKI, Renal Cysts, Chronic Interstitial Nephropathy — outside the clinician-reviewed MedDRA term map, never queried — and ATN and AIN, queried but biopsy-bound: real cases are filed as generic “acute kidney injury”, so their absence is not a negative. As of 2026-10-01.

Nearest agents by kidney-injury phenotype (shared injuries, nephron target, severity, class) — a similarity approximation, not a claim of shared drug identity or mechanism.
Same-class agents ordered by their documented kidney-injury profile — atlas severity, an acute-kidney-injury FAERS signal, and how many injury types each is documented to cause. Agents nearer the top carry the lighter documented renal profile.
A comparison of documented kidney-injury data within one drug class — not a substitution recommendation. Efficacy, indication, and non-renal toxicity differ between these agents and are out of scope here. Educational only, not medical advice.
