What is the importance of eosinophiluria in Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis?
Eosinophiluria is a nonspecific finding that can be seen in a variety of conditions (e.g., acute pyelonephritis, acute glomerulonephritis, acute cystitis, and prostatitis).
Muriithi et al. found that even at a 5% cut-off, urine eosinophils are poorly discriminated between ATIN and other forms of kidney disease.
