AB  - Chronic  tubulointerstitial  nephritis  (CTIN)  is  an  inflammatory  process  that  involves  the  peritubular  space  or  interstitium  of  the  kidneys  resulting  in  interstitial  scarring  with  fibrosis,  a  lymphomonocytic  infiltrate,  tubular  dilation,  and  atrophy.  These  forms  of  injury  are  very  similar  regardless  of  the  inciting  cause.  Usually  asymptomatic,  it  presents  as  a  slowly  progressive  impairment  in  renal  function  leading  to  chronic  kidney  disease  (CKD).  Any  structural  damage,  either  glomerular,  tubular,  or  a  direct  injury  to  the  interstitium  from  an  acute  nephritis  that  has  not  appropriately  resolved  can  amount  to  CTIN.
