TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Diseases of the Renal Parenchyma A1 - Wells, Robert G. PY - 2015 T2 - Diagnostic Imaging of Infants and Children AB - Renal parenchymal disease, also termed medical renal disease, includes various disorders of the glomeruli, interstitium, tubules, and small blood vessels of the kidneys. The clinical spectrum encompasses diseases confined to the kidneys and systemic disorders that secondarily affect the kidneys. Renal parenchymal diseases can be primary, secondary, congenital, hereditary, or acquired. There are various classification schemes. Categorization based on the predominantly affected parenchymal structures recognizes 3 major categories of medical renal disease: glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and vascular (Table 46-1). Many parenchymal diseases, however, substantially involve more than 1 of these anatomic divisions.
