We report another case of acute interstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU syndrome) in a 35-year-old woman. About thirty cases were described since the first ones 20 years ago. We discuss the assessment needed to reach the diagnosis. The evolution is unusually favourable with steroid therapy.

Tissue-based Gene Expression Diagnosis of Mild and Moderate T-cell-mediated Rejection to Guide Therapy in Kidney Transplants.
Transplantation
December 2024
Division of Nephrology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA.
Background: Mild histologic lesions of tubulo-interstitial inflammation could represent a "response-to-wounding" rather than allorecognition. Tissue gene expression may complement histopathology for T-cell-mediated rejection (TCMR) diagnostics.
Methods: We report on the incorporation of tissue gene expression testing using a Molecular Microscope Diagnostic System into the management of kidney transplant biopsies with suspected TCMR.
[Acute immuno-allergic tubulo-interstitial nephritis due to amoxicillin confirmed by rechallenge].
Nephrol Ther

Service des maladies infectieuses, Hôpital universitaire Brugmann, Université libre de Bruxelles, Bruxelles, Belgique
Article Synopsis
- - Acute kidney injury can often be a side effect of certain medications, including antibiotics like amoxicillin.
- - A specific case is reported where a patient experienced acute renal failure twice due to amoxicillin, which was linked to an immuno-allergic reaction.
- - The diagnosis was validated through kidney biopsy and was further confirmed when the patient was re-exposed to amoxicillin.
Novel Mitochondrial Cytopathy Causing Mitochondrial Encephalomyopathy With Lactic Acidosis and Stroke-Like Episodes Syndrome and Tubulointerstitial Nephropathy.
Cureus
August 2024
Internal Medicine, Stockport National Health Service (NHS) Trust, Stockport, GBR.
Article Synopsis
- Mitochondrial cytopathies, particularly from MT-TL1 and MT-ND5 mutations, can lead to mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS), marked by multi-organ dysfunction, with a novel MT-ND5 variant being only the second reported case linked to MELAS.
- A middle-aged man presented with severe neurological symptoms, including confusion, speech difficulties, and behavioral changes, alongside a history of refractory seizures and renal disease; imaging revealed significant brain abnormalities, and muscle biopsy identified a novel mutation in the MT-ND5 gene.
- MELAS typically features seizures, stroke-like episodes, and other neurological issues, with kidney transplants in these patients generally offering
Article Synopsis
- - Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common renal issue that arises after bee stings, often caused by rhabdomyolysis.
- - It's rare to see nephrotic syndrome alongside AKI in cases involving Hymenoptera stings.
- - The case presented involved a diagnosis of minimal change disease, with relapses occurring over a six-year follow-up period.
Causal relationship between gut microbiota and kidney diseases: a two-sample Mendelian randomization study.
Front Immunol
January 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Major Obstetric Diseases, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Obstetrics and Gynecology, Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area Higher Education Joint Laboratory of Maternal-Fetal Medicine, Guangzhou, China.
Background: The interplay between gut microbiome genera and inflammatory kidney-related diseases, such as nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, tubulo-interstitial nephritis, and chronic kidney disease, has been observed. However, the causal relationships between specific bacterial genera and these renal diseases have not been fully elucidated.
Objective: To investigate the potential causal links between different genera of the gut microbiome and the susceptibility to various renal conditions utilizing two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses.
