This French National Diagnostic and Care Protocol (NDPC) includes both pediatric and adult patients with non-infectious chronic uveitis (NICU) or non-infectious recurrent uveitis (NIRU). NICU is defined as uveitis that persists for at least 3 months or with frequent relapses occurring less than 3 months after cessation of treatment. NIRU is repeated episodes of uveitis separated by periods of inactivity of at least 3 months in the absence of treatment. ⋯ Because local or systemic corticosteroids are usually necessary, these treatments and the risks associated with their prolonged use are the subject of particular attention and specific recommendations. The same information is provided for systemic immunomodulatory treatments, immunosuppressive drugs, sometimes including anti-TNFα antibodies or other biotherapies. Certain particularly important recommendations for patient management are highlighted in summary tables.

Post-Obstructive Diuresis (POD) is a polyuria that occurs following the release of an obstruction from the urinary tract that prevents the flow of urine. POD requires prompt diagnosis to avoid complications. ⋯ Restoration of renal homeostasis requires correction of blood volume and electrolyte disturbances to prevent complications, which can be serious. In this article, we propose a synthesis of knowledge on the subject, as well as a management strategy.
