Interstitial nephritis         
TYPE OF NEPHRITIS AFFECTING THE INTERSTITIUM OF THE KIDNEYS SURROUNDING THE TUBULES
Tubulo-interstitial nephritis; Interstitial neprhitis; Nephritis, interstitial; Tubulointerstitial nephritis; Acute interstitial nephritis; Allergic interstitial nephritis; Interstitial Nephritis; Interistetial nephritis; Acute Interstitial Nephritis; Drug-induced interstitial nephritis
Interstitial nephritis, also known as tubulointerstitial nephritis, is inflammation of the area of the kidney known as the renal interstitium, which consists of a collection of cells, extracellular matrix, and fluid surrounding the renal tubules. In addition to providing a scaffolding support for the tubular architecture, the interstitium has been shown to participate in the fluid and electrolyte exchange as well as endocrine functions of the kidney.
Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis         
GLOMERULONEPHRITIS ASSOCIATED PRIMARILY WITH THE MESANGIUM
Mesangial proliferative lupus nephritis
Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MesPGN) is a morphological pattern characterized by a numerical increase in mesangial cells and expansion of the extracellular matrix within the mesangium of the glomerulus. The increase in the number of mesangial cells can be diffuse or local and immunoglobulin and/or complement deposition can also occur.

Lupus nephritis

Lupus nephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys caused by systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease. It is a type of glomerulonephritis in which the glomeruli become inflamed. Since it is a result of SLE, this type of glomerulonephritis is said to be secondary, and has a different pattern and outcome from conditions with a primary cause originating in the kidney. The diagnosis of lupus nephritis depends on blood tests, urinalysis, X-rays, ultrasound scans of the kidneys, and a kidney biopsy. On urinalysis, a nephritic picture is found and red blood cell casts, red blood cells and proteinuria is found.
