Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a nonnecrotizing granulomatous disease of unknown origin that can affect lungs, eyes, kidneys and skin. Although kidney involvement is usually clinically silent, granulomatous interstitial nephritis - the hallmark of renal sarcoidosis – can lead to functional impairment and organ failure. We report a case of renal sarcoidosis revealed by acute kidney injury with biopsy finding of a granulomatous interstitial nephritis. Outcome was favorable after the institution of high dose corticosteroids.
