In general, the prognosis for drug-induced AIN is good, and at least partial recovery of kidney function is normally observed. Early recognition is crucial because patients can ultimately develop chronic kidney disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In chronic TIN, prognosis depends on the cause and on the ability to recognize and stop the process before irreversible fibrosis occurs.[kidneypathology.com]
