Abstract
Renal sarcoidosis frequently causes granulomatous interstitial nephritis, but clinically relevant nephritis is uncommon. IgA nephropathy caused by sarcoidosis is usually associated with milder stages of renal dysfunction, and only one case of rapidly progressive IgAN has been reported to date. We present an interesting case of a patient with a rapidly progressive form of IgA nephropathy caused by sarcoidosis that was successfully treated. DOI: 10.52547/ijkd.7027.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Journal of Kidney Diseases (IJKD), a peer-reviewed journal in English, is the official publication of the Iranian Society of Nephrology. The aim of the IJKD is the worldwide reflection of the knowledge produced by the scientists and clinicians in nephrology. Published quarterly, the IJKD provides a new platform for advancement of the field. The journal’s objective is to serve as a focal point for debates and exchange of knowledge and experience among researchers in a global context. Original papers, case reports, and invited reviews on all aspects of the kidney diseases, hypertension, dialysis, and transplantation will be covered by the IJKD. Research on the basic science, clinical practice, and socio-economics of renal health are all welcomed by the editors of the journal.
