Answer to Question 1

The only dietary modification is usually making sure there is adequate fluid intake, which may require several liters of extra fluid.

Answer to Question 2

Interstitial is relating to spaces within a tissue or organ, but excluding such spaces as body cavities; it is space between cells. Nephritis is a general term referring to inflammation of the kidneys. Interstitial nephritis is a form of nephritis in which the interstitial connective tissue is chiefly affected. A number of conditions can cause this, including analgestic abuse. It results in an inability to concentrate urine and usually produces a mild renal insufficiency.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
