A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after computed tomography (CT) revealed renal masses and mediastinal lymphadenopathy. Uveitis had previously been diagnosed by a local ophthalmologist. Elevated levels of serum soluble IL2 receptor were observed. However, renal function was not compromised. Abdominal CT showed multiple low attenuation tumor-like nodules in both kidneys. As lymphoma was considered likely, CT-guided renal biopsy was performed; however, histological examination of the excised specimens revealed noncaseating granulomas. Analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid demonstrated a sarcoidosis pattern. The final diagnosis was sarcoidosis with renal involvement.

D005938 Glucocorticoids A group of CORTICOSTEROIDS that affect carbohydrate metabolism (GLUCONEOGENESIS, liver glycogen deposition, elevation of BLOOD SUGAR), inhibit ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE secretion, and possess pronounced anti-inflammatory activity. They also play a role in fat and protein metabolism, maintenance of arterial blood pressure, alteration of the connective tissue response to injury, reduction in the number of circulating lymphocytes, and functioning of the central nervous system.
