Hypercalciuria may predict better response to immunosuppressive therapy in renal sarcoidosis: a case series.

Renal sarcoidosis is a systemic disease of insidious onset and chronic progression, sharing similar features of chronicity and hypercalciuria with granulomatous interstitial nephritis of other cause. Hypercalciuria may predict a better response to immunosuppressive therapy, presumably indicating active interstitial inflammation; thus, strengthened immunosuppression might be considered.
