TINU: A Multisystemic Inflammatory Disorder—Case Report and Literature Review
Background. The syndrome of tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) is a rare oculorenal condition, mainly seen in children and women. The underlying cause of this disease is unknown. Case Presentation. We report a 24-year-old male without any past medical history, diagnosed with bilateral uveitis and azotemia. Biopsy revealed tubulointerstitial nephritis, consistent with TINU syndrome. Fluorescein angiogram revealed peripheral retinal vasculitis. Discussion. TINU is a rare disorder that needs to be distinguished from sarcoidosis, Sjogren's disease, and tuberculosis. Treatment is indicated in patients with progressive renal insufficiency, consisting of steroid therapy. Most patients recover kidney function. Its early recognition is important to offer the best chance of organ preservation.
