Abstract EN
We report a 43-year-old woman with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU syndrome) presented with a 5-day complaint of chills and fever, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting.
She had elevated BUN and creatinine and urinalysis revealed decreased concentration, proteinuria, hematuria, and pyuria.
A kidney biopsy showed non-caseating granulomatous tubulointerstitial nephritis.
She suffered from anterior uveitis one month before, which was managed with local ophthalmic steroids.
She received two months of oral high dose prednisolone, which was tapered over the next two months, and two months of 2 mg/kg cyclophosphamide.
Her renal function recovered during the first two months.
Her kidney and ocular symptoms did not recur during one year of follow-up.
We suggest short course of cyclophosphamide and prednisolone for treatment of TINU syndrome to decrease the recurrence of kidney and ocular involvement.
