Abstract
A 60-year-old man developed stomach pains and early morning vomiting as well as fatigue over the last few months. Severe hypercalcemia was found in combination with a significantly reduced renal function. Laboratory tests as well as histological findings from the kidneys led to the working diagnosis of sarcoidosis with renal and possible osseous manifestations. After 14 days of oral medication with steroids the symptoms were significantly improved and renal parameters normalized.
