Acute Tubulointerstitial Nephritis in a Patient Post-Renal Transplantation

A 41-year old female patient who underwent kidney transplantation as an outcome of chronic glomerulonephritis came to the hospital with the signs of acute upper respiratory tract infection. As the patient further developed oliguria, peripheral edema, fever, and an increased BP, she was further relocated to UMC. Upon admission to UMC, signs of septic shock were detected, and acute transplant rejection was suspected, to exclude which kidney biopsy was performed and stage 3 CKD in allograft kidney was detected. Antibacterial treatment as well as pulse therapy were performed as patient had septic shock and TIN.
