Article Synopsis
- - The study evaluated clinical and lab characteristics of renal sarcoidosis (RS) in 47 adult patients, noting a significant presence of hypercalcemia, proteinuria, and interstitial nephritis, with most patients receiving prednisone for treatment.
- - Initial kidney function showed low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), but significant improvements were measured after one month, one year, and at last follow-up, with correlations found between early response to treatment and later outcomes.
- - The relationship between initial histologic fibrosis and kidney function recovery was observed, indicating that hypercalcemia at presentation may predict better treatment responses, while relapses could be purely renal, extrarenal, or both over an extended period.
