Approach to the patient with drug allergy.

30 Jul 2009 Drug allergies are adverse drug reactions mediated by the specific immune system. Despite characteristic signs (eg, skin rash) that raise awareness for possible drug allergies, they are great imitators of disease and may hide behind unexpected ... Read more...

Myeloperoxidase antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis with diffuse tubulointerstitial nephritis.

29 Apr 2009 Renal involvement in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis is characterized by focal segmental crescentic and/or necrotizing glomerulonephritis. Here, we report the case of a 66-year-old woman showing myeloperoxidase ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Nephritis, Interstitial'

Definition: 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.
