Acute Interstitial Nephritis Not Related to NSAIDs treatment in Puebla

It is advisable to consult the nephrologist, or the pediatric nephrologist in the case of children, when acute interstitial nephritis not related to NSAIDs is suspected. This condition is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the kidney tubules whose cause is not attributed to anti-inflammatories, but to other triggers such as certain infections, different medications or immune processes.

Possible manifestations: changes in the urine, swelling, tiredness and, at times, fever or general malaise.

When to seek care? If persistent changes in the urine appear or signs that the kidney is not working normally.

The urologist may take part in evaluating the urinary tract when necessary. Identifying the cause with a specialist is key to caring for kidney health in time.
