title: [Acute renal injury in the course of renal-ocular syndrome - case report].
abstract: Renal-ocular syndrome is a rare cause of tubulointerstitial renal diseases. A case of 52 years old woman with acute renal injury in the course of acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU syndrome) is presented. For diagnosis of kidney disease a kidney biopsy and renal tubular function tests were used. Progression of the renal disease was the cause of the general intensive steroid treatment inclusion. In a short time after treatment initiation, a significant improvement of renal function was observed. Until the time of handing over the article (5 months), no relapse of the disease was noticed. The aim of the study was to present the case of TINU, which is a rarely recognized syndrome as a cause of acute kidney injury and to describe a treatment method.
