Introduction
Niraparib is a poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor indicated for the maintenance therapy of recurrent ovarian and other gynecological cancers in patients who have complete or partial response to platinum-based chemotherapy. We present a unique case of Niraparib resulting in AKI.
Case Description
73/F with past H/o HTN, hyperlipidemia, persistent ovarian cancer after Cisplatin treatment, currently on Niraparib therapy was evaluated for worsening creatinine. Her baseline creatinine was 0.9-1.0 mg/dL and eGFR was 54.4 - 61.4 mL/min. She initially developed AKI (creatinine 1.8 mg/dL) with cisplatin which subsequently improved to 1.3 mg/dL with eGFR of 40.2 mL/min, upon completion of cycle. Following the initiation of Niraparib, creatinine gradually trended up to 2.1 mg/dL and calculated eGFR was 23.1 mL/min. No obvious etiology for AKI was identified. Urinalysis revealed muddy brown casts w/ protein of 100 mg/dl without any evidence of UTI. Cystatin C was measured (1.72 mg/L) and Cystatin C based eGFR was 33 mL/min which indicates true AKI as opposed to elevated creatinine without renal injury. Niraparib was suspended following which creatinine started to improve (1.7 mg/dL) along with an improvement in eGFR (29.5 mL/min).
Discussion
Niraparib is a PARP inhibitor which functions by causing DNA damage resulting in apoptotic cell death. PARP inhibition in animal models has shown to be reno-protective from ischemia and it has been shown to elevate serum creatinine in drug trials without causing AKI. In our case though, patient developed AKI 2/2 ATN from niraparib. Mechanism for this is unclear as this is one of the earliest reported cases. One possible mechanism could be Apoptotic cell death of renal tubular cells.
