Abstract:
The coexistence of two immune-mediated diseases in the same patient is unusual. Takayasu's arteritis (TA), which is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis, was discovered in a 47-year-old woman followed for tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome (TINU syndrome). We present the first case of this association.
Learning Points:
Rare autoimmune diseases can coexist in the same patient.Physical examination is important so that coexisting diseases can be identified.Takayasu's arteritis was discovered as an incidental finding in a patient followed fortubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome.
