肾脏细菌感染曾被认为是慢性非肾小球性肾病的主要原因,即慢性肾盂肾炎.以慢性炎症和纤维化为其特征,主要累及肾间质和通过间质的组织如肾小球管和肾血管.但有很多非感染性情况(见下文),也能引起同样的组织病理学改变而无伴随感染症象.现知成人的慢性间质性肾病(无论是否伴有炎症)大多主要不是由细菌 Bacterial infections in the kidney have been identified as the major cause of chronic non-glomerular nephropathy, chronic pyelonephritis, characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis, primarily involving the renal interstitium and interstitial tissue such as the glomerular tubules and However, there are a number of non-infectious conditions (see below), which also cause the same histopathological changes without concomitant infection.Currently, chronic interstitial nephropathy (whether associated with or without inflammation) is mostly found in adults By bacteria
