There are many spectrums in renal diseases which induce tubulointerstitial nephropathy (TIN). Primarily, the renal tubule and interstitium are involved but glomerular and vascular lesions are found in the chronic course of TIN. Renal scintigraphy is poor for evaluating characteristic aspects of tubular function of TIN but demonstrate individual renal function as a whole. Particularly, measurement of the 99m-Tc-DMSA renal uptake rate is useful for evaluating a functioning tubular mass.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007668	Kidney	Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations.	Kidneys
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.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
