Sarcoidosis with multiple organ involvement associated with necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis

Abstract EN

We report a case of a young Saudi male who presented with generalized body weakness and easy fatigability associated with fever, night sweating, loss of weight and appetite, and renal impairment.

He was diagnosed as a case of sarcoidosis, and renal biopsy report was consistent with necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis (GN).

Immunosuppressive medication was started to help halting the progression to renal failure and stabilize renal function.

To the best of our knowledge, the association between sarcoidosis and crescentic GN has been reported in only few cases in literature.
