Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) describes a group of immune-mediated inflammatory diseases that involve the interstitium and renal tubules but spare the glomeruli. Inflammation of the kidney consists of the collection of inflammatory cells, fluid, and extracellular matrix surrounding the interstitium, along with the infiltration of tubular cells by inflammatory cells that define both tubules and interstitium pathology. The most common cause of acute interstitial nephritis (70% to 75%) is drugs, also called allergic interstitial nephritis, which is reviewed in a companion activity, “Allergic and Drug-induced Interstitial Nephritis.” This activity reviews the remaining 20% to 25% of tubulointerstitial nephritides caused by the following etiologies: idiopathic, genetic, and infectious (viral, bacterial, parasitic, or fungal). In addition, there is an association with various systemic inflammatory conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease, sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren disease, immunoglobulin G4–associated autoimmune disease, and tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. This activity highlights the role of interprofessional team members in managing patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis for best patient outcomes.
