tubulointerstitium is composed of
vasa recta, tubules, collecting duct
glomerularnephritis vs interstitial disease
interstitial disease has:

less proteiniuria ( < 1.5g)

no casts

saltwasting early (since salt management is tubular job)

early anemia

don't see hypertension common

see acidosis early (since tubules handle acid)
drug cause of chronic tubulointersitial nephritis
analgesic nephropathy

lithium

cis-platinum

lead

cyclosporine
analgesic nephropathy
slow progressive chronic renal failure

history of pain syndromes (which causes them to take analgesics)

asprin + acetaminophen combintion

renal papillary necrosis - flank pain and hematuria

see small kidneys with bumby contour and papillary calcification
renal papilalry necrosis
flank pain

hematuria

calcified papillae slough off and pass like a stone

can see with analgesic nephropathy, UTI, diabetes, sickle cell
myeloma renal disease - chronic TIN
light chain deposition

cast nephropathy
sickle cell renal disease - chronic TIN
renal blood flow blockage -> interstitial nephropathy
things to look out for in chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis
keep an eye on drugs

renal insufficiency

tubular disfunction (i.e. glucose in urine when there is no diabetes)

protein loss is not to nephrotic proprtions

anemia not in proprotion of GFR

NO hypertension

small kidneys (normal is 12cm)

no casts
acute TIN vs Chronic TIN
both are interstitium injury

acute TIN - edema
chronic TIN - fibrosis

acute TIN - reversible
chronic TIN - irreversible
acute allergic TIN
severe inflam cell infiltrate with intersitial edema - see eosinophils

see tubulitis - inflammation within tubules

glomerulus is normal

clinically:
acute renal insufficiency

tubular dysfunction - hyperkalemia, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, fanconi syndrome

fever, rash, eosinophilia*

Causes: drugs - betalactams (penecillin, ampicillin), rifampin, diuretics, NSAIDS

treat with steroids, remove offending agent
