Roghayeh Akbari, and Mehran Shahani, and Mohammad Ranae

Sarcoidosis is a systemic disorder affecting multiple organs. We presented a 56-year-old woman with renal impairment who was diagnosed with sarcoidosis accompanied by IgA nephropathy. Treatment with methylprednisolone was started for the patient. After treatment, the patient was discharged with good general condition and resolved proteinuria.

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.
