Ideal sources for Wikipedia's health content are defined in the guideline Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) and are typically review articles. Here are links to possibly useful sources of information about Interstitial nephritis.

PubMed provides review articles from the past five years (limit to free review articles)
The TRIP database provides clinical publications about evidence-based medicine.
Other potential sources include: Centre for Reviews and Dissemination and CDC

I will be looking to improve this page in the coming weeks. Some prelim thoughts below:

Given the significant differences that extend beyond onset/duration of disease itself, it would be helpful to differentiate chronic vs acute TIN in the body of the article, not just intro.
Lack of histologic discussion as well as anatomic explanation of the role of the interstitium.
List of causes is quite narrow and lacks adequate explanation of pathophysiologic mechanisms of injury.
No epidemiologic data.
Picture/figure would be nice.
