Inflammatory kidney disorders refer to a group of conditions that cause inflammation in the kidneys, affecting their ability to function properly. Common types include glomerulonephritis, which involves inflammation of the kidney's filtering units, and interstitial nephritis, where the spaces between kidney tubules become inflamed. These disorders can result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to certain medications. Symptoms of inflammatory kidney disorders may include swelling, high blood pressure, and changes in urine output or appearance. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, urine tests, and imaging studies. Treatment often focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce inflammation or manage symptoms.
