Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My friend had feet the swelled so badly she had to call an ambulance and go directly to the hospital. The doctor says the swelling was caused by her sarcoidosis. She also has third stage renal failure. Which are the causes and which are the symptoms?
After going through your query I understand your concern.
I would like to tell you that Sarcoidosis is a multi-system inflammatory disease in which small nodules ( granulomas) of inflamed tissue develops in Body's organs. Mostly it involves Lungs but can affect other organs too. Cause of Sarcoidosis is unknown as of now, how ever genetic and environmental factors seems to play role.
Sarcoidosis rarely causes kidney failure. But for kidney failure evaluation , diagnosis and a proper treatment is required to avoid Kidney failure related complications.
