==Overview==
Common causes of interstitial nephritis include drug side effects, particularly [[analgesics]] and [[antibiotics]]. Other common causes include associated nephrologic conditions, as well as [[microbial]] infections.

This disease is also caused by other diseases and toxins that do damage to the kidney. Both acute and chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis can be caused by a bacterial infection in the kidneys, known as [[pyelonephritis]]. The most common cause is by an allergic reaction to a drug. The drugs that are known to cause this sort of reaction are antibiotics such as penicillin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as aspirin. The time between exposure to the drug and the development of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis can be anywhere from 5 days to 5 weeks.

Overview

Common causes of interstitial nephritis include drug side effects, particularly analgesics and antibiotics. Other common causes include associated nephrologic conditions, as well as microbial infections.

Causes

Drugs

  • 70 to 75 percent (with antibiotics responsible for 30 to 49 percent of these cases)[1]
  • Any drug has the potentiality to cause AIN, among case reports of many drugs causing AIN, but only a few have been reported with biopsy-proven AIN. The most common proven drugs cause of AIN includes:[2][3][4][5][6][7]
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs)
  • Penicillins and cephalosporins
  • Antimicrobial sulfonamides, including trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
  • Rifampin
  • Diuretics, including loop diuretics such as furosemide and bumetanide, and
  • Thiazide-type diuretics
  • Ciprofloxacin and, perhaps to a lesser degree other quinolones
  • Cimetidine
  • Allopurinol
  • Proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and lansoprazole
  • Indinavir
  • 5-aminosalicylates (eg, mesalamine)

Infections

Multiple organisms may cause TIN including bacterial viral fungal parasitic infections.[8][9][10][11][12][13]

Bacteria

  • Legionella,
  • Leptospira,
  • Streptococcus,
  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis,
  • Corynebacterium diphtheriae
  • Yersinia,
  • Enterococcus
  • Escherichia coli

Virus

  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
  • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV),
  • Aolyomavirus,
  • Adenovirus,
  • Candida

parasites

  • Leishmania
  • Toxoplasma

Immunologic diseases

  • Sarcoidosis
  • SLE,
  • Sjögren's syndrome

Less Common Causes

Less common causes of TIN include:

  • Heavy metals (eg, lead, cadmium, mercury)
  • Obstructive uropathy, nephrolithiasis, reflux disease
  • Neoplasia (eg, myeloma, leukemia, amyloidosis)
  • Metabolic diseases (eg, hypercalcemia, cystinosis, potassium depletion, hyperoxaluria)
