Abstract
- Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU) syndrome is a disorder that was originally described in 1975. The syndrome, although diagnosed in all age ranges, is more frequently reported in pediatric patients. Diagnosis can be difficult, and its clinical spectrum is still being defined. In this article, we review the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, clinical findings, prognosis, and treatment of both the ocular and renal disease. We comment on the current difficulties in diagnosis and study of the disease, its expanding clinical spectrum, and treatment strategies in pediatric patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
