Abstract

Acute renal failure is rarely associated with the usual presentations of sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is associated with hypercalcemia and presents with granulomas within other organs, usually the lungs [1]. We present a case of acute renal failure with hypercalcemia in an African American female patient who was eventually diagnosed with sarcoidosis.
