  • Title: Granulomatous interstitial nephritis in extrapulmonary sarcoidosis.
    Author: Utaş C, Doğukan A, Patiroğlu TE, Oymak S, Oymak O.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1999 Apr; 51(4):252-4. PubMed ID: 10230559.
    Abstract:
    Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder in which the lungs or intrathoracic lymph nodes are involved in more than 90% of patients with the disease. It occasionally involves kidneys most commonly due to disordered calcium metabolism. Granulomatous interstitial nephritis is a distinct renal pathology in sarcoidosis. Renal dysfunction due to granulomatous interstitial nephritis is rare. We recently encountered a sarcoidosis patient without hypercalcemia and any evidence of pulmonary involvement which is distinctly unusual.
