Patient's question:
My uncle went to the hospital for a thorough examination because he has been experiencing joint pain recently and discomfort while walking. He was then diagnosed with allergic interstitial tubulointerstitial nephritis. Hello doctor, what is the situation with my uncle's condition? What kind of treatment is needed?Doctor's answer:
The current situation involves inflammation of the tubules or interstitial nephritis. Theoretically, it is considered to be kidney function damage caused by autoimmune injury or some pathogens invading. There needs to be coordination with corticosteroids to control it, especially since the deposition of variable and autoimmune cell complexes is also related. There needs to be coordination with kidney function tests for comprehensive analysis.
