Recurrent sarcoidosis in a transplanted kidney: A case report and literature review.

Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disorder that primarily affects the lungs. However, extra-pulmonary involvement, including the kidneys and heart, is also observed. Kidney involvement may manifest as hypercalcemia or as acute or chronic kidney injury, which could progress to end-stage kidney disease. Patients with sarcoidosis have been reported to successfully undergo kidney transplants, although some have experienced recurrence of sarcoidosis after the transplant, affecting both the kidneys and other organs. Here, we present a case of a patient who underwent a kidney transplant followed by the recurrence of sarcoidosis, which manifested as hypercalcemia five months after the transplant.
