Sarcoidosis can present as acute kidney injury (AKI) due to granulomatous interstitial nephritis (GIN). AKI caused by sarcoid GIN without extra-renal manifestations is extremely rare. We report a case of a 42-year-old man with a history of unexplained weight loss admitted with progressively worsening kidney function. Physical examination did not show any abnormality. Laboratory investigations were normal except for high calcium level with no evidence of organ involvement of sarcoidosis. A renal biopsy showed GIN with non-caseating granulomata. Prednisolone was initiated and renal function improved. This is a case of an extremely rare AKI caused by sarcoid GIN without extra-renal manifestations which responded to prednisolone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007668 Kidney Body organ that filters blood for the secretion of URINE and that regulates ion concentrations. Kidneys
D008297 Male Males
D009395 Nephritis, Interstitial Inflammation of the interstitial tissue of the kidney. This term is generally used for primary inflammation of KIDNEY TUBULES and/or surrounding interstitium. For primary inflammation of glomerular interstitium, see GLOMERULONEPHRITIS. Infiltration of the inflammatory cells into the interstitial compartment results in EDEMA, increased spaces between the tubules, and tubular renal dysfunction.

D011239 Prednisolone A glucocorticoid with the general properties of the corticosteroids. It is the drug of choice for all conditions in which routine systemic corticosteroid therapy is indicated, except adrenal deficiency states. Di-Adreson-F,Predate,Predonine,Di Adreson F,DiAdresonF

D012507 Sarcoidosis An idiopathic systemic inflammatory granulomatous disorder comprised of epithelioid and multinucleated giant cells with little necrosis. It usually invades the lungs with fibrosis and may also involve lymph nodes, skin, liver, spleen, eyes, phalangeal bones, and parotid glands.
