ABSTRACT

Tubulointerstitial nephritis syndrome and uveitis is an uncommon cause of acute renal dysfunction in adults. The diagnosis can be difficult, as ocular and renal symptoms often do not coincide temporarily. Two cases of tubulointerstitial nephritis syndrome and uveitis in adults, with favorable evolution with systemic steroid treatment are presented in this paper.
