Historical Perspective
Classification
Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) commonly attributes to inflammatory diseases of the kidneys with involvement the interstitium and tubules. In this condition the glomeruli are intact or may affect in the late stage of disease.
according to clinical manifestations and the inflammatory process, TIN, in spite of the etiologic agent, can be divided into acute and chronic categories.
