Clinical features of TINU syndrome: a case report and review
Abstract
The paper describes a rare clinical case of a patient with tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU syndrome). Specific features of natural history of the tubulointerstitial nephritis in the TINU syndrome and its clinical manifestations are discussed as well as approaches to its diagnosis. We also discuss the causes, pathogenesis, diagnosis and treatment of the TINU syndrome.
