The majority of patients with interstitial nephritis are [[asymptomatic]]. However, nonspecific [[Sign and symptom|signs and symptoms]] may present depending upon underlying etiology and timing of presentation. Non specific symptoms include nausea, vomiting, malaise, and oliguria. Hematuria though not so common is also seen in some patients with interstitial nephritis. Other symptoms of interstitial nephritis include hypersensitivity reaction, such as [[rash]], [[fever]], and [[eosinophilia]].
 
== History ==
Nevertheless, presence of symptoms or signs of a [[hypersensitivity reaction]], such as [[rash]], [[fever]], and [[eosinophilia]] in the history of consumption of the culprit drugs causing AIN should raise the clinical suspicion for drug-induced AIN.
 
In the chronic condition patients may experience symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and weight loss; as well features of electrolyte imbalances such as hyperkalemia, and metabolic acidosis may present.

Overview

The majority of patients with interstitial nephritis are asymptomatic. However, nonspecific signs and symptoms may present depending upon underlying etiology and timing of presentation. Non specific symptoms include nausea, vomiting, malaise, and oliguria. Hematuria though not so common is also seen in some patients with interstitial nephritis. Other symptoms of interstitial nephritis include hypersensitivity reaction, such as rash, fever, and eosinophilia.

Patients with TIN may have a positive history of:

  • Drugs consumption especially antibiotic as well NSAIDS
  • Previous history of allergic drug reaction
  • Infections
  • Systemic disease including sarcoidosis, Sjogren's syndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
