We report a case of IgG4-related disease presenting both tubulointerstitial nephritis and retroperitoneal fibrosis causing acute renal failure in a 63-year-old male. He was admitted to our hospital because of acute renal failure requiring emergent hemodialysis. Computed tomography showed a soft-tissue density mass with an irregular border in the retroperitoneum. The mass involved bilateral ureters and had caused acute renal failure by bilateral hydronephrosis. Because of a history of uveitis and high IgG4 levels, we considered a diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis, IgG4-related disease. Kidney biopsy revealed IgG4-related kidney disease with interstitial nephritis. After relief of urinary obstruction by inserting ureteral catheters into the bilateral ureters, renal function recovered.
