          Abstract

          La sarcoidosis es una enfermedad sistémica de causa desconocida que se caracteriza por la presencia del granuloma sarcoideo típico. Puede afectar a cualquier tejido pero el órgano que se afecta con mayor frecuencia es el pulmón, siendo menos frecuente la afectación de otros órganos. La afectación glomerular primaria en la sarcoidosis es poco común. La lesión glomerular que con mayor frecuencia se ha asociado es la glomerulonefritis membranosa, siendo descrita en pocas ocasiones la glomerulonefritis crescéntica rapidamente progresiva. Presentamos un caso de glomerulonefritis crescéntica sobreañadida a una glomerulonefritis membranosa, con presencia de granuloma intersticial, en el contexto de un brote agudo de sarcoidosis normocalcémica, la cual había sido diagnosticada dos años antes.

          Translated abstract

          Sarcoidosis is a chronic disorder of unknown ethiology, characteristically by the presence of the typical noncaseating sarcoid granuloma. Any tissues can be affected, but the organ most frecuently affected is the lung being more unusual in other organs. Primary glomerular involvement in sarcoidosis is unfrequent. The disorder most commonly associated is membranous glomerulonephritis. Rapidly progressive crescentic glomerulonephritis have been very scarcely reported. We report a case of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with crescents added to a previous membranous glomerulonephritis with the histological finding of an interstitial granuloma, which was clinically apparent in the context of a normocalcemic sarcoidosis, diagnosed as lung sarcoidosis two years before.

          Renal manifestations of sarcoidosis.

          Sarcoidosis may involve the kidneys in several ways. Most commonly, aberrations of calcium metabolism, including hypercalcemia, hypercalciuria, and nephrocalcinosis, are responsible for the renal manifestations of sarcoidosis. Granulomatous infiltration of the renal interstitium may also produce severe derangements of renal function. Glomerulonephritis can occur with sarcoidosis, although the pathogenesis remains unclear. Besides renal insufficiency and frank renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, nephrolithiasis, hypertension, and a variety of tubular defects may complicate sarcoidosis. The sensitivity of "sarcoid nephropathy" to corticosteroids usually warrants therapeutic trial.
