  3. Causes
    1. See Infectious Causes of Acute Interstitial Nephritis (includes miscellaneous causes)
    2. See Medication Causes of Interstitial Nephritis
  4. Symptoms and Signs
    1. Classic triad (Methicillin induced hypersensitivity)
      1. Low grade fever (>70% of cases)
      2. Rash (>30% of cases)
      3. Arthralgia (>15% of cases)
    2. Acute Renal Failure
      1. Oliguria
      2. Malaise
      3. Nausea or Vomiting
  5. Labs: General
    1. Urinalysis
      1. Eosinophiluria
      2. Proteinuria
      3. Fractional Excretion of Sodium >1%
        1. Common to intrinsic Kidney disease (ATN, GN) in which Sodium cannot be retained despite decreased perfusion
    2. Renal Function tests with Renal Insufficiency
      1. Serum Creatinine increased
      2. Blood Urea Nitrogen increased
    3. Miscellaneous
      1. Hyperchloremic Metabolic Acidosis
  6. Labs: Renal biopsy
    1. Inflammation of renal interstitium
      1. Mononuclear cell and T-Lymphocyte infiltrate
    2. Glomerular and vascular sparing
  7. Management
    1. Consider Corticosteroid course
      1. Initial: Prednisone 1 mg/kg/day PO for 2 weeks
      2. Next: Prednisone tapered off over 3-4 weeks
      3. Consider cyclophosphamide in steroid non-responders
    2. Eliminate possible causes
    3. Optimize fluid status
    4. Manage Hyperkalemia and other electrolyte abnormalities
    5. Symptomatic relief of fever and Arthralgias
    6. Avoid nephrotoxic medications
  8. Prognosis
    1. Recovery in weeks if cause eliminated within 2 weeks
    2. Renal biopsy findings suggestive of poor prognosis
      1. Diffuse inflammation
      2. Neutrophils >1%
      3. Significant interstitial fibrosis
  9. Complications
    1. Acute Renal Failure
      1. Responsible for up to 15% of Acute Renal Failure
  10. Prevention

Nephritis, Interstitial (C0027707)

Definition (NCI) A renal disorder characterized by inflammation and edema of the interstitial tissue of the kidney.
Definition (CSP) diffuse or local inflammation and edema of the interstitial tissue of the kidney, including the tubules.
Definition (MSH) Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.
