hungrybox But how is a 2-year history acute? +4

jinzo there is also " Chronic interstitial disease " +4

targetmle i got it wrong because there wasnt rash, also there was proteinuria, doesnt it indicate glomerular involvement? +2

zevvyt Got it wrong too cuz of that. But there can be proteinuria in nephritis, just not as much as in nephrotic syndrome. I guess that's confusing cuz this type of nephritis isn't grouped with the other nephritic conditions. +1

I think this can either be acute or chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis. According to MSDmanuals, 'acute' TIN symptom onset can occur 18 months after NSAID use. The classic triad of fever, urticaria, and eosinophilia is only present in <10% of cases. Also, they can have proteinuria (<1 g/day) or even nephrotic-range proteinuria (>3.5 g/day) if it's caused by NSAIDs.

proteinuria + hematuria, chronic analgesic abuse -> renal papillary necrosis , which can be a progression from acute interstitial nephritis (drug-induced hypersensitivity involving the interstitium and tubules)
