Tubulo-interstitial nephritis, not specified as acute or chronic - what does this mean
Tubulo-interstitial nephritis is a kidney disorder that causes inflammation in the tubules and interstitium, which are the areas of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and producing urine. it is caused by an immune system response to an infection, drug, or toxin, and can be either acute or chronic. symptoms include swelling, high blood pressure, protein in the urine, and decreased kidney function. treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medications, lifestyle changes, and dialysis.
What happens during the disease - tubulo-interstitial nephritis, not specified as acute or chronic
Tubulo-interstitial nephritis is a type of kidney disease that is caused by inflammation of the tubules and interstitium of the kidneys. it is often caused by an autoimmune reaction, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own cells and tissue in the kidneys, or by an infection, where bacteria, viruses, or fungi invade the kidneys. in some cases, it may be caused by an allergic reaction to certain medications or toxins. the inflammation leads to damage to the kidney cells, which can cause a decrease in the filtering ability of the kidneys, leading to a buildup of toxins in the bloodstream and other symptoms.
