Purpose:
To evaluate our experience with the diagnosis and the treatment of the TINU syndrome. The term TINU syndrome means the intraocular inflammation occurring in association with tubulointerstitial nephritis. The predominance of younger females was established. The uveitis is frequently chronic, moderate, and bilateral. The treatment with immunosuppressive drugs often has positive clinical response.
Methods:
A retrospective study.
Results:
Five patients, 4 women and 1 man, have been examined and treated for the TINU syndrome in our Department for Diagnosis and Treatment of Uveitis. The age ranged from 8 to 62 years. The treatment with immunosuppressive drugs caused reduction of the inflammatory reaction and visual acuity improvement.
Conclusion:
Immunosuppressive drugs were effective in all of our patients suffering from the TINU syndrome. The cooperation between ophthalmologist and nephrologist is crucial for the effective control of the disease activity and for drug regimen optimization.
