[Rare differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury--Case 09/2009]

19 Oct 2009 HISTORY AND ADMISSION FINDINGS: A 44-year-old male and his 40-year-old wife, both previously in good health, were admitted for abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, severe headache, and oliguria after ingestion of wild mushrooms two weeks earlier. ... Read more...

Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome: a case report and review of the literature.

9 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: We aim to describe the first case of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome reported in Scandinavia and to underline the importance of the syndrome, which should be better known among ophthalmologists. METHODS: We report ... Read more...

Xanthine oxidoreductase depletion induces renal interstitial fibrosis through aberrant lipid and purine accumulation in renal tubules.

8 Aug 2009 Xanthine oxidoreductase (XOR) is an enzyme responsible for purine degradation, reactive oxygen species production, and adipogenesis. XOR gene-disrupted (XOR(-/-)) mice demonstrate renal failure and early death within several months. The aim of this ... 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.
