Clinical often divided into acute interstitial nephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis. Acute interstitial nephritis is characterized by short-term occurrence of renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration, interstitial edema, varying degrees of renal tubular damage with renal insufficiency due to a variety of reasons. The clinical manifestations can be mild or severe. Most cases have a clear etiology. Removing the etiology and timely treatment can cure the disease or reverse the disease to varying degrees. The main pathological features of chronic interstitial nephritis are renal interstitial fibrosis, interstitial mononuclear cell infiltration and renal tubular atrophy.

Second, acute interstitial nephritis, acute interstitial nephritis because of its different etiology, clinical manifestations are different, no specificity. The main manifestations are oliguric or non oliguric acute renal insufficiency, accompanied by fatigue, fever and joint pain. The loss of renal tubular function can lead to low specific gravity and low osmotic pressure urine, renal tubular proteinuria and disturbance of water, electrolyte and acid-base balance. Some patients show Fanconi syndrome.

Finally, chronic interstitial nephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis is often occult, chronic or acute onset, due to chronic inflammatory changes in the renal interstitium, mainly fibrotic tissue hyperplasia, renal tubular atrophy, it often has its common clinical manifestations. Nausea, muscle weakness, thirst, nocturia, gross hematuria or paresis, and joint pain are common in both types of diseases.
