Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist,i can understand your anxiety.
Sarcoidosis of kidneys is quite rare. The kidney function has reduced a lot.
Steroids is the treatment to be given,with monitoring of blood sugar.
The creatinine and electrolytes is done to check kidney function.
Nefita is a multivitamins and minerals tablet, given for well being of patient.
Salt 5gm and 40mg protein diet,with fluid intake according to urine output per day,is important. A kidney biopsy and ultrasound scan must be done.
If you've any doubts,you may send the reports to me,as a direct question.
