Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome: use of gallium scintigraphy in its diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract
Prompt diagnosis and treatment with corticosteroids of the tubulointerstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU) syndrome may assist in the preservation of renal function. We present a case illustrating the characteristic clinical features of this syndrome. Gallium scintigraphy assisted in the diagnosis and management of this case, which was complicated by relapsing pyelonephritis.
