Overview
In the majority of patients with TIN, recovery of renal function has been observed, and improvement immediately occurs upon stopping the offensive agent.
Nevertheless, about 12% of patients may progress to develop ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.
However there is no definite prognostic indicators for TIN, but renal failure lasts for >3 weeks, older patients and presence of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis in the renal biopsy are associated with worse prognosis.
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- In the majority of patients with TIN, a full recovery or partial recovery occurs upon stopping the offensive agent. Meanwhile,about 12% of patients may progress to ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.[1]
Complications
- Common complications of TIN include:
Prognosis
In the majority of patients with TIN, a full recovery or partial recovery occurs upon stopping the offensive agent. Meanwhile,about 12% of patients may progress to ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.[1]
It has been suggested that the long-term prognosis is worse if:
- Renal failure lasts for >3 weeks.[2][3]
- Older patients[4]
- Presence of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis in the renal biopsy. [5]
