Popis: We present the case of a young man with a strong family history of SpA, who was referred to the Rheumatology Clinic due to bilateral uveitis refractory to treatment with corticosteroids. The patient’s renal function gradually deteriorated and a subsequent biopsy was positive for interstitial nephritis. After excluding all other systemic diseases, the diagnosis of TINU syndrome was confirmed. Although rare, TINU syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-infective uveitis especially in the presence of urinalysis abnormalities.
