  • Title: Renal failure due to granulomatous interstitial nephritis after pulmonary sarcoidosis.
    Author: van Dorp WT, Jie K, Lobatto S, Weening JJ, Valentijn RM.
    Journal: Nephrol Dial Transplant; 1987; 2(6):573-5. PubMed ID: 3126460.
    Abstract:
    Two patients, who had had pulmonary sarcoidosis, developed renal failure due to sarcoid granulomatous interstitial nephritis after their original pulmonary symptoms had subsided. Treatment with prednisone resulted in almost complete recovery of renal function. Lysozyme and angiotensin-converting enzyme levels and gallium scintigraphy can be of diagnostic value.
