Literature review and case study of predominant tubulointerstitial lupus nephritis
This case series reinforces PTILN as a distinct LN variant characterized by dominant tubulointerstitial inflammation and TBM immune deposits. Although PTILN shares clinical features with classic LN, PTILN exhibits notable heterogeneity in demographics, pathology, and outcomes, and its pathogenesis, diagnostic criteria, and optimal management require further elucidation.
