Question
My daughter has been diagnosed with interstitial nephritis. What kind of disease is this?
Answer
Interstitial nephritis is a kidney disease in children, caused by the immature immune system of children. Once affected, it may have a negative impact on their growth and health. Early symptoms are often unobtrusive, but as it progresses, it may manifest as symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, weight loss, anemia, and hypertension, indicating kidney failure.
