==[[Interstitial nephritis overview|Overview]]==
Two main diseases involve the renal tubules are:  Acute tubular necrosis due to Ischemic or toxic injury for more about ATN click [[Acute tubular necrosis|here]]; and tubulointerstitial nephritis with Inflammatory involvement of tubules and interstitium and its consequent  reactions.
Since some  cases of TIN are due  to bacterial infection, and the renal pelvis is deeply involved, therefore [[pyelonephritis]] is term describes this condition; and In general ,the term interstitial nephritis is used for TIN that are owing to  nonbacterial causes of tubular injury such as  drugs, viral infections,autoimmune systemic diseases  in which these condition mechanism of damage is due to inflammatory responses not direct damage.

* In 1938, Councilman was the first to discover the association between systemic infections and the development of TIN; in autopsy kidneys of children dying of diphtheria and scarlet fever.
* He described the findings as: cellular and fluid exudation in the interstitial tissue of kidneys, before the era of antibiotics.
* The widespread introduction of percutaneous renal biopsy led to the discovery of similar findings in association with drug-related renal failure.Histological examination in ATIN reveals an infiltrate, which is largely composed of T cells, together with some macrophages and plasma cells.

==[[Interstitial nephritis classification|Classification]]==
There is no established system for the classification of TIN, however according to clinical manifestations and the  inflammatory process, TIN, in spite of the etiologic agent, can be divided into acute and chronic categories.
