Treatment
Talk with your doctor about the best treatment plan for you, which will depend on the cause of your acute interstitial nephritis. Treatment options include the following:
Medications
If medications are the cause of your interstitial nephritis, your doctor may have you stop taking medications or prescribe a different one.
Antibiotics are used to treat an infections and drugs such as corticosteroid or cyclophosphamide medications may also be used to help treat interstitial nephritis. Usually a kidney biopsy is done to confirm the diagnosis prior to starting corticosteroid or cyclophosphamide.
Dialysis
Some people with interstitial nephritis need dialysis , in which a machine does the work of your kidneys to purge waste.
