Infectious and non-infectious tubulointerstitial nephropathies are
old subjects but there is enough confusion and disagreement on
terminology and etiopathogenesis to warrant a new look at these
problems. We were fortunate in having at the Pediatric Nephrology
Seminar 6 and as contributors to this volume, the representative-
or shall I say "originators"? - of each of the three most identifi-
able positions: Dr. Renee Habib - congenital anomalies, Dr. John
Hodson - reflux, and Dr. Robert Heptinstall - infection. Although
some tend to hold onto one position and exclude others, in this
case there was overlapping of perception. Dr. Habib accepts a role
for infection in reflux and for infection in the presence of
obstruc- tion; Dr. Hodson accepts infection and congenital
anomalies as modi- fiers; and Dr. Heptinstall takes an overall
position whicm encompas- ses the three. Thus the first part of the
book emphasizes the complexity of something as seemingly simple as
UTI and demonstrates awareness of disagreement even among the pros
about meanings, interpretations, and treatment. Drs. Gustavo
Gordillo, Jorge de la Cruz and their associates emphasize the
importance of predisposing factors for UTI; Dr. Materson focuses on
the workup of the patient, Dr. Zillerueloon bacteriological
aspects, and Dr. Gorman on treatment approaches. Dr. Vaamonde
reviews nephrotoxic agents. Finally, Drs. Andres and Noble review
the immunological aspects of various tubulointer- stitial
nephritides.
