Granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN) is a rare kidney disease. Prompt diagnosis and treatment with steroids can significantly improve or stabilize renal function, even in advanced cases.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN) is a rare histologic diagnosis.
  • Limited data exists on GIN's clinical presentation, associated conditions, and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report the presenting features, associated conditions, treatment, and outcomes of GIN patients.
  • To compare findings with existing literature and highlight the value of renal biopsy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 18 patients diagnosed with GIN over 15 years.
  • Analysis of clinical data, biopsy findings, treatment regimens, and renal function over time.

Main Results:

  • Patients presented with advanced renal failure and minimal proteinuria.

  • Treatment with prednisolone led to renal function improvement or stabilization in 17/18 patients.
  • No correlation found between biopsy features and renal outcome.

    • Conclusions:

    • GIN is a treatable cause of renal failure, emphasizing the importance of renal biopsy.
    • Early diagnosis and treatment can lead to significant renal function recovery.
