    Renal Tubulointerstitial Diseases

    Uploaded by

    Dani Dany
    Tubulointerstitial diseases involve injury to the tubules and interstitium of the kidneys. They include acute tubular necrosis, acute or chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis, contrast nephropathy, analgesic nephropathy, and reflux nephropathy. Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys that is commonly caused by a bacterial infection traveling up the urinary tract. Pyeloureteritis cystica is a rare condition involving cyst formations in the renal pelvis and ureters. Balkan nephropathy is a form of interstitial nephritis that is endemic to certain areas.

    INTRODUCTION


     Tubulointerstitial diseases are clinically
    heterogeneous disorders that share similar features
    of tubular and interstitial injury. In severe and
    prolonged cases, the entire kidney may become
    involved, with glomerular dysfunction and even
    renal failure.

     The primary categories of tubulointerstitial disease are
     Acute tubular necrosis
     Acute or chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis
     Contrast nephropathy is acute tubular necrosis caused by
    an iodinated radiocontrast agent.
     Analgesic nephropathy, reflux nephropathy,
    and myeloma kidney are types of chronic
    tubulointerstitial nephritis.
     Tubulointerstitial disorders can also result from metabolic
    disturbances and exposure to toxins.

     Renal tubulo-interstitial diseases includes
    pyelonephritis and pyeloureteritis cystica
     Some drugs and heavy metals may induce renal
    tubulo-interstitial diseases
     Some other renal tubulo-interstitial diseases like
    balkan nephropathy, balkan endemic nephropathy
    DEFINITIONS

     Pyelonephritis is an inflammation of the
    kidney tissue, calyces, and renal pelvis. It is
    commonly caused by bacterial infection that has
    spread up the urinary tract or travelled through the
    bloodstream to the kidneys
     A similar term is "pyelitis" which means
    inflammation of the pelvis and calyces

     pyelitis together with nephritis is collectively known
    as pyelonephritis.
     Severe cases of pyelonephritis can lead
    to pyonephrosis (pus accumulation around the
    kidney), sepsis (a systemic inflammatory response of
    the body to infection), kidney failure and even death.
    SIGNS&SYMPTOMS

     fever
     accelerated heart rate
     painful urination
     abdominal pain radiating to the back
     nausea
     tenderness at the costovertebral angle

     Pyeloureteritis cystica is a rare situation of the renal
    pelvis and ureters, characterized by cystical
    formations of the epithelium.
     The etiology is unknown and there is no specific
    treatment. It is usually diagnosed accidently during
    imaging of the upper urinary tract for different
    reasons.

     Hydronephrosis in simple words water in kidney’s,
    is a condition caused by urinary retention due to
    obstruction of the free flow of urine from the kidney.
     Stricture of ureter is defined as narrowing of the
    ureter lumen in size

     Balkan nephropathy also known as Balkan endemic
    nephropathy-is a form of interstitial nephritis.
