Tubulointerstitial nephritis - causes and signs of tubulointerstitial nephritis

Tubulointerstitial nephritis has the following species structure: acute and chronic. Complications of this disease are of great importance, as a result of an untimely diagnosis.

Causes

Tubulointerstitial nephritis occurs due to several reasons. Firstly, it is a long-term intake of large quantities of toxic substances, antibiotics and probiotics, systemic diseases and infections. Secondly, it is the environment (air pollution and toxicity, antibacterial state). The third reason may be the dose of previously taken drugs that can cause a response (protective) reaction of the body.

Symptoms

The first signs of the disease:

• weakness of the body;
• rapid fatigue;
• lack of appetite;
• vomiting reaction to food.

The physiological symptoms should be noted: the volume of urine decreases, its color changes; swelling appears. There is an increase in temperature. At the first symptoms, you should make an appointment with a doctor - a therapist or a gynephrologist. You should not diagnose and treat yourself, this is fraught with consequences. You can contact private clinics to private doctors who will help you with treatment.

Diagnostics

To determine the correct diagnosis, the nephrologist will refer you for diagnostics of the body. It is necessary to pass a number of tests:

• clinical blood test;
• biochemical blood test;
• ultrasound of the kidneys;
• general urine and stool analysis;
• nephrobiopsy.

Only after passing the diagnostics and passing all the tests, the doctor will be able to prescribe an effective and correct treatment.

If there is no effect from the treatment within 7 days or if renal failure increases, the option of starting glucocorticosteroid therapy is considered.

Treatment

When treating tubulointerstitial nephritis, the question of hospitalizing the patient immediately arises. The person must stop taking the drug that became the main cause of the disease and stop contact with toxins. The treatment will last at least 7 days. Regular fluid intake, healthy and nutritious food, as well as comfortable living conditions are necessary. Intramuscular anti-inflammatory and diuretic drugs are prescribed. The patient's blood pressure and heart rate are constantly monitored. After treatment, basic tests are taken: a clinical blood test and a general urine and stool test.

During treatment, bed rest and a gentle diet with limited table salt are recommended.

Prevention

No one knows how and when the body will react to a particular drug, so you should be careful with drugs and antibiotics, do not abuse them. If the drug is prescribed by a doctor, then take it strictly according to the doctor's recommendations. Do not forget about healthy eating. If the first symptoms, swelling, rash, or fever appear, you should immediately contact a therapist.
