title: Chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis in common variable immunodeficiency: a rare association.
abstract: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is characterized by reduced serum immunoglobulin levels and repeated serious bacterial infections involving different organ systems. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an uncommon association with CVID. Chronic tubulo-interstitial nephritis in a case of CVID that progressed to CKD is distinctly rare.
