Overview
History and Symptoms
At times there are no symptoms of this disease, but when they do occur they are widely varied and can occur rapidly or gradually[1][2][3][4][5]. When caused by an allergic reaction, the symptoms of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis are fever (27% of patients)[2], rash (15% of patients)[2], and enlarged kidneys. Some people experience dysuria, and lower back pain. In chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis the patient can experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weight loss. Other conditions that may develop include hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis, and kidney failure.
