Introduction: Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease. Renal involvement is a rare initial presentation of this disease. Few articles on renal involvement as an initial presentation of sarcoidosis have been published in the literature.
Case Presentation: A 26-year-old Caucasian woman presented with acute renal failure as an initial manifestation of sarcoidosis.
Conclusions: Renal involvement is an uncommon feature of sarcoidosis and it is essential to establish a fast and correct diagnosis because early therapy avoids progression to terminal renal failure.
