In chronic nephritis develops intersticial'nom fibrosis. This leads to the development of nephrosclerosis pathology with further development of chronic renal failure.
On the mechanism of development of interstitial nephritis happens to be primary and secondary. A primary interstitial nephritis develops without prior defeats of kidneys. Secondary interstitial nephritis appears on the background of some other renal or vnepochechnogo disease.
