Anti-PD-1 treatment-induced immediate central diabetes insipidus: a case report.
2021
Modulating PD-1 expression can constrain tumor growth. Hodgkin's lymphoma patients commonly express PD-L1 on tumor cells. We report the case of a 60-year-old male patient with relapsed classical Hodgkin's lymphoma who suffered from immediate-onset chill, hyperthermia and polyuria following initial treatment with sintilimab, an anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody. The results revealed central diabetes insipidus (cDI). After 3 months of treatment with glucocorticoids and desmopressin acetate, his symptoms and the results were consistent with the resolution of cDI and the treatment course was discontinued. Diabetes insipidus is a rare complication of immunotherapeutic treatment, and this is the first case report to our knowledge to have described immediate-onset cDI caused by anti-PD-1 treatment.
