ABSTRACT
The association between sacroiliitis and tubulointerstitial nephritis has not been reported. A 28-year-old man with a history of clinically diagnosed ulcerative colitis (4 years earlier) and sacroiliitis (6 months earlier) developed renal dysfunction 9 months ago, which progressed thereafter. We diagnosed him with tubulointerstitial nephritis by a renal biopsy, for which we started steroid therapy. Subsequently, his renal dysfunction, sacroiliitis, and enteritis partially improved. A pathological analysis of the kidney and intestine revealed lymphocyte infiltration and non-caseating granuloma in both organs. The similarities in the pathological findings and treatment response suggested a pathogenetic association between tubulointerstitial nephritis, enteritis, and sacroiliitis.
