Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a chronic, multi-systemic disease with granulomatous condition and unknown etiology. Hypercalcemia is an uncommon medical condition which may arise as a consequence of a reduced renal excretion, hyperparathyroidism and cancer. Here, we report a case of 50-years old man with renal failure associated with sarcoidosis. Clinical manifestation and histological sections are also presented.    

Keywords:Hypercalcemia, Sarcoidosis, Renal Failure
