title: [Kidney involvement in sarcoidosis].
abstract: Variants of renal damage in sarcoidosis demonstrate the diversity of clinical manifestations common to this systemic disease and serve distinctive reference points in the choice of the treatment policy. A well-defined relationship between hypercalciuria associated with sarcoidosis and risk of calcium nephropathy development is, one the one hand, a reliable criterion for the disease activity and, on the other one, the basis for administration of drug the therapy permitting one to control its level (corticosteroids and drugs of the 4-aminoquinoline series). Other variants of renal damage in sarcoidosis, excluding amyloidosis, form the basis for corticosteroid administration even in cases of the presence of renal failure, demonstrating that so-called "dramatic therapy" produces a remarkable beneficial effect characterized by the disappearance of the signs of renal failure.
