  • Title: [Acute granulomatous interstitial nephritis with iritis. Possible induction by non-steroidal antiphlogistics].
    Author: Koeppen-Hagemann I, Binkele-Uihlein U, Waldherr R, Andrassy K, Ritz E.

    Abstract:
    A 49-year old woman developed non-oliguric acute renal failure accompanied by bilateral acute anterior uveitis, following a three weeks' period of lethargy, anorexia and temporary fever. Kidney biopsy revealed acute interstitial nephritis with interstitial infiltrations of lymphocytes and monocytes, as well as multiple perivascular epithelioid granulomas. A substantial improvement of renal function was achieved under treatment with systemic corticosteroids. The uveitis resolved completely under additional topical treatment. During a follow-up period of 9 months, there has been no relapse of nephritis or uveitis. The disease of this patient resembles the so-called TINU syndrome of unknown aetiology. Remarkable features of the present case are the histological diagnosis of granulomatous acute interstitial nephritis in the absence of systemic granulomatous disease, as well as a possible association with the administration of non-steroidal antiinflammatory drugs.
