title: Keep an eye out for tubulo-interstitial nephritis.
abstract: Acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU) is a rare disease, generally presenting in young women. We describe a 16-year-old Turkish girl with aspecific symptoms and elevated serum creatinine. Further, she complained about a burning pain in her left eye. Renal biopsy revealed acute TIN. Other conditions were excluded and TINU was diagnosed.
