“…Renal failure is an uncommon manifestation of sarcoidosis, and can result from arteriolar nephrosclerosis, hypercalcemia, nephrocalcinosis, interstitial nephritis and glomerulonephritis; conversely, renal granulomatous inflammation, though present in up to 40% of autopsy studies, is an uncommon cause of renal failure [165]. Vitamin D replacement and malignancy can impair further renal function, leading to hypercalcemia and nephrocalcinosis [166,167].…”

“…Michaels et al described two patients with sarcoidosis : one with recent history of pneumonia and other with elevated antistreptolysin O titres who developed acute renal failure with active urinary sediments and nephrotic range proteinuria (Michaels et al 2000). Biopsies disclosed diffuse endocapillary proliferative GN with hump-like epithelial deposits.…”

“…Because sarcoidosis is associated with many immunologic deficiencies, a predisposition to glomerulonephritis from infectious causes in sarcoid patients might be expected. Michaels et al (47) described two patients with sarcoidosis who developed active urinary sediments and nephrotic syndrome. Biopsies disclosed acute glomerulonephritis in these patients with hump-like epithelial deposits.…”
