Abstract Purpose: To report tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis(TINU)syndrome in a middle-aged female.

Case: A 58-year-old female presented with conjunctival hyperemia.

Findings: Both eyes showed severe ciliary injection, keratic precipitates and cells in the anterior chamber. Topical and systemic corticosteroids were not effective. Elevated levels of urinary β2 microglobulin(β2-MG)and N-acetylglucosaminidase(NAG)led to the diagnosis of TINU syndrome. Corticosteroid pulse therapy was followed by gradual improvement of anterior segment inflammation.

Conclusions: Bilateral idiopathic anterior uveitis in middle or old-aged patients may be caused by TINU syndrome. Urinalysis includingβ2-MG and NAG may be useful in the diagnosis.
