These are usually diseases related to auto immune system of the body i.e when the body cells mistakenly begin to harm other good cells and tissues in different parts of the body; the heart, kidneys and lungs may get inflamed under different conditions.
In case of interstitial nephritis the spaces between the kidney tubules are affected; they swell up and hinder the comfortable functioning of the kidneys. It may nbe acute or chronic; the chronic condition worsens with time.
Interstitial nephritis usually occurs due to an infection or an allergic reaction or as the result of autoimmune disorders such anti tubular basement membrane disease, Kawasaki disease etc. It may also occur due to the usage of medicines such as tylenol, aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for long-term. With proper medical care, the acute cases can recover in few weeks; chronic cases lead to kidney failure.
