Tubulointerstitial Diseases

Tubulointerstitial diseases are conditions that affect the tubules and interstitial tissue of the kidneys, which are essential for filtering blood and producing urine. These diseases can result from factors like infections, toxins, drugs, or autoimmune disorders. When the tubules and surrounding tissue become inflamed or damaged, it can impair the kidneys' function, leading to problems like fluid imbalance, waste accumulation, and electrolyte disturbances. Symptoms may include fatigue, swelling, and changes in urine output. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent long-term kidney damage.
