    Diseases Affecting Tubules and Interstitium in the Urinary Tract Kidney

    • Most forms of tubular injury also involve the interstitium.
    • Tubulointerstitial nephritis (pyelonephritis) is an inflammatory disease that affects the interstitium and tubules of the kidneys.
    • In late stages of the disease, the glomeruli may also be affected.
    • The main cause of tubulointerstitial nephritis is bacterial infection, particularly in the pelvis (pyelonephritis).
    • Interstitial nephritis is the term used for non-bacterial causes such as drugs, metabolic disorders, physical injury, viral infections, and immune reactions.
    • Both acute and chronic forms of tubulointerstitial nephritis can occur regardless of the underlying cause.
    • Acute pyelonephritis is a suppurative inflammation of the kidney and the pelvis.
