Tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome presents with either renal or ocular manifestations, and associated weight loss. We report two adolescents with transient hyperthyroidism early in the course of the syndrome. Hyperthyroidism may represent an unrecognized feature of the disorder and potentially contributes to the accompanying weight loss. Thyroid function should be evaluated in patients with tubulointerstitial nephritis and uveitis syndrome and symptomatic therapy provided when necessary.
肾小管间质性肾炎和葡萄膜炎综合征表现为肾脏或眼部症状，以及伴有体重减轻。我们报告了两名在该综合征病程早期出现短暂性甲状腺功能亢进的青少年。甲状腺功能亢进可能是该疾病未被认识到的一个特征，并可能导致伴随的体重减轻。对于患有肾小管间质性肾炎和葡萄膜炎综合征的患者，应评估其甲状腺功能，并在必要时提供对症治疗。
