title: [A case of successful living related renal transplantation in a patient with end-stage renal disease resulting from sarcoidosis].
abstract: We report a case in a 44-year-old man with known past history of sarcoidosis associated with uveitis that was first diagnosed when he was 20 years old. He developed renal dysfunction 6 years after the diagnosis of sarcoidosis. At that time, a renal biopsy revealed non-necrotizing granulomatous interstitial nephritis, typical findings of renal involvement of sarcoidosis. Despite corticosteroid therapy administered soon after the biopsy, the renal dysfunction gradually progressed to end-stage renal disease. The patient underwent kidney transplantation from a living donor and the renal graft has been functioning well with no evidence of recurrence 10 months postoperatively, and with a serum creatinine level between 1.2 and 1.5 mg/dl.
