[Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU syndrome) - comorbidity and complications in four patients].

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:TINU syndrome probably is a frequently overlooked disease where uveitis occurs in association with acute tubulointerstitial nephritis. Diagnostic criteria have been published recently. PATIENTS AND METHODS:In this retrospective case series the charts of four consecutive patients with TINU syndrome (follow-up 36, 23, 17, and 12 months, respectively) were analysed, including comorbidity and complications, and the literature was reviewed. RESULTS:Two patients were treated with methotrexate or ciclosporin A and mycophenolate mofetil. In one patient autoimmune thyroiditis was known. During the follow-up, symptoms indicative of rheumatoid arthritis were observed. Because of her uveitis she required methotrexate therapy. Three patients were obese (mean BMI 32.2 kg/m (2)). Ocular complications were posterior synechiae (two patients) and papillary and macular oedema (three patients). One patient developed cerebrospinal hypertension under ciclosporin A treatment which resolved after discontinuation of therapy. CONCLUSIONS:Patients with definite TINU syndrome frequently suffer from other diseases and associated immune phenomena. The course of the disease can vary considerably. Complications do occur, despite overall good prognosis. Regional and systemic steroids may be sufficient; frequently steroid sparing immunosuppressives are necessary at least temporarily. Patients with this multiorgan disease do need to be followed by a paediatrician or a medical specialist.

    abstract::Light absorption and fluorescence measurements can be used to detect accumulations of small molecules in intraocular lenses (IOLs). It was shown that HEMA IOLs can store and to some extent release a variety of drugs and fluorescein. PMMA and silicone IOLs, however, do not have this characteristic. UV-blocking IOLs abs...
