ISNARDI, Carolina A et al. Síndrome de nefritis túbulo-intersticial agudo asociado a uveítis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2016, vol.76, n.6, pp.376-378. ISSN 0025-7680.

Intermediate uveitis is described as inflammation in the anterior vitreous, ciliary body and the peripheral retina. It is a subset of uveitis where the vitreous is the major site of damage. It has been reported to be associated with many local and systemic inflammatory and infectious diseases. An infrequent cause is the tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome. We report a case of an acute visual acuity loss related with renal failure in a 64 years old woman with Hashimoto disease. It was an acute tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome case.

Keywords : Uveitis; Acute renal failure; Tubulointerstitial nephritis.
