Interstitial nephritis: causes, symptoms and treatment

Interstitial nephritis, also known as interstitial nephritis, is a kidney disease that primarily affects the tissue between the kidney tubules. This is a rare disease that can lead to chronic kidney failure if not detected and treated promptly.

Causes

The causes of interstitial nephritis are not always clear. However, there are several factors that may increase your risk of developing this disease, such as:

1. Taking certain medications, such as antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics, and cancer drugs.
2. Allergic reactions to medications or other substances.
3. Urinary tract infections and other infectious diseases.
4. Autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and ankylosing spondylitis.
5. Genetic disorders.

Symptoms

Symptoms of interstitial nephritis may include:

1. Pain in the lumbar region.
2. Swelling around the eyes and on the legs.
3. Increased fatigue and weakness.
4. Loss of appetite and weight loss.
5. Increased body temperature.
6. Nausea and vomiting.
7. Malaise.

Treatment

Treatment for interstitial nephritis depends on the cause of the disease. If the disease is caused by taking medications, you must stop taking them. In case of an allergic reaction to medications, antihistamines or glucocorticosteroids may be used.

If interstitial nephritis is caused by an infection, it is necessary to treat the infection with antibiotics. If the disease is caused by an autoimmune disease, immunosuppressive drugs may be used.

In some cases, hemodialysis or kidney transplantation may be required.

In conclusion, interstitial nephritis is a serious disease that can lead to chronic kidney failure. Early detection and treatment can help prevent complications from developing. If you have symptoms of interstitial nephritis, be sure to see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Last time we looked at chronic latent pyelonephritis in a child and today we will continue to cover the topic of nephropathy. We learn about nephropathies and their features in various parts of the genitourinary system and about the features of urinary syndrome in children and adolescents from the articles of our author, Candidate of Medical Sciences Irina Vasilyevna Turova. Today we’ll talk about interstitial nephritis. **Interstitial nephritis** is an immunologically induced multisystem inflammatory process that initially develops in areas of the renal parenchyma and connective tissue adjacent to the glomeruli. Pathological changes in interstitial nephritis are characterized by diffuse inflammation of the renal tissue with proliferation and the formation of dense perivascular infiltrates. Classic I. is the only or dominant manifestation of the disease. Gottron's rash is considered classic for interstitial nephritis (
