Acute Interstitial Nephritis
Alternate Names : AIN
What can be done to prevent the disease?
Prevention of AIN is not always possible. It helps to avoid contact with the offending
medicine in the case of allergic reaction.
Other prevention depends on the underlying cause of infection, such as avoiding exposure to strep.
What are the long-term effects of the disease?
Most cases of kidney damage can be reversed with treatment. But a few cases of AIN may lead to
lasting kidney failure.
What are the risks to others?
AIN is not catching and cannot be spread to others. Certain underlying conditions,
such as mononucleosis, may be
catching.
