Primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS) is one of the most common primary glomerular diseases in children. Patients complicated nephrotic syndrome with pancreatic lesions are rarely reported, and the clinical manifestations in children are atypical. This study has observed the incidence, clinical types, and prognosis of acute pancreatitis (AP) in children with primary nephrotic syndrome, and analyzed its related factors, early diagnosis, and treatment.Seven children with PNS and AP in Shanghai Children's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2017 were reviewed. The clinical data including age, height, weight, body mass index (BMI), diet, biliary tract disease, PNS durations, drugs, proteinuria, creatinine, glucose, glycated hemoglobin, amylase and lipase, albumin, cholesterol, triglyceride, ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT), renal pathology and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were followed for >2 years.Ten in 589 patients with PNS were detected pancreatic lesions by abdominal ultrasound. Seven were diagnosed as AP, which the incidence was 1.2%. Only 1 of 7 patients had elevated serum amylase. Lesions of pancreas were found by ultrasound and/or enhanced CT. Four of 7 patients had been treated with tacrolimus. All patients with AP were improved after octreotide acetate injection and supportive treatment. Only 1 patient suffered recurrent AP during the relapse of PNS 10 months later.AP in children with PNS is not common, and the clinical manifestations are not typical. Abdominal ultrasound and enhanced CT are of high value in diagnosis. The adverse effects of tacrolimus should be concerned. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can be helpful for a prognosis.

Programmed cell death receptor-1 and its ligand-1 (PD-1/PD-L1) inhibitors have been applied to many cancers, but the difference of treatment-related adverse events (AEs) across cancer types remains unknown. We performed a meta-analysis and systemic review to compare the incidences of commonly reported all-grade AEs across cancer types and found that the most frequent AEs were fatigue, rash/pruritus, loss of appetite/nausea and diarrhea. However, each cancer type also had its higher incidences of AEs involving a relevant system, such as melanoma with epidermal AEs (rash, diarrhea and enterocolitis), lung cancer with dyspnea and pneumonitis, digestive system cancers with amylase and lipase elevation; and renal cell and urothelial cancer with kidney injury (creatinine elevation and proteinuria). However, the incidence of hepatitis did not follow the pattern to show a difference. We did another comparison between PD-1 and PD-L1 inhibitors in lung cancer and urothelial cancer respectively, and found that the risk of most AEs did not differ much, except for more hypothyroidism in PD-1 inhibitors, and more kidney injury in PD-L1 inhibitors. Besides possible immunological mechanisms for treatment-related AEs, the influence of previous radiotherapy and the clinical characteristics of the diseases themselves should also be considered and is worth further investigation. With the result of this meta-analysis, clinicians could estimate the risk of certain AE in certain cancer type, to make treatment options and to customize monitor strategies.
