Three-dimensional schematic of the interstitium, a fluid-filled space supported by a network of collagen. In anatomy, the interstitium is a contiguous fluid-filled space existing between a structural barrier, such as a cell membrane or the skin, and internal structures, such as organs, including muscles and the circulatory system.
Claude Bernard, French physician who introduced the concept of homeostasis. The human body and even its individual body fluids may be conceptually divided into various fluid compartments, which, although not literally anatomic compartments, do represent a real division in terms of how portions of the body's water, solutes, and suspended elements are segregated.
The interstitium was identified using confocal laser endomicroscopy and fluroscein injection of bile duct tissue. A microscopic subcompartment of the interstitial space, having a depth of 60–70 micrometres (0.0024–0.0028 in) and filled with lymph, was reported as draining into lymph nodes , and was structurally supported by a network of ...

Interstitial nephritis may present with a variety of signs and symptoms, many of these nonspecific. Fever is the most common, occurring in 30-50% of patients, particularly those with drug-induced interstitial nephritis. [2]

The medullary interstitium is the tissue surrounding the loop of Henle in the medulla. It functions in renal water reabsorption by building up a high hypertonicity , which draws water out of the thin descending limb of the loop of Henle and the collecting duct system .
