Virginia Mason Clinic, Seattle, Wash.

A 51-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and mild hypertension developed acute interstitial nephritis 4 days after starting a course of co-trimoxazole for bronchopneumonia. Following initial symptoms of overt hypersensitivity, he developed azotemia and renal tubular dysfunction with malaise and anorexia requiring hospitalization. Renal pathology demonstrated an acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis superimposed on chronic diabetic renal disease.

D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial 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.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
