ABSTRACT

Renal involvement in sarcoidosis is very uncommon and often diagnosed through renal biopsy. It is a chronic and multisystem disease with unknown aetiology and can affect all organs of the body with strong predilection to the lungs. Although glucocorticoids are effective in the treatment of sarcoidosis, the mainstay of management includes supportive hydration and prevention of nephrotoxins. We report a case of a young man who was admitted with an ocular and renal impairment secondary to sarcoidosis.
