Overview

In the majority of patients with TIN, recovery of renal function has been observed, and improvement immediately occurs upon stopping the offensive agent.

Nevertheless, about 12% of patients may progress to develop ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

Natural History

  • In the majority of patients with TIN, a full recovery or partial recovery occurs upon stopping the offensive agent. Meanwhile,about 12% of patients may progress to ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.

Complications

Prognosis

In the majority of patients with TIN, a full recovery or partial recovery occurs upon stopping the offensive agent. Meanwhile,about 12% of patients may progress to ESRD and its complications; and thus require dialysis or transplantation.[1]

It has been suggested that the long-term prognosis is worse if:

  • Renal failure lasts for >3 weeks.[2][3]
  • Older patients[4]
  • Presence of tubular atrophy and interstitial fibrosis in the renal biopsy. [5]
