Abstract
THE AIM: to study the frequency of CKD in women suffering from chronic sarcoidosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS : 160 female patients with sarcoidosis without signs of primary renal pathology and severe cardiovascular pathology were divided into 3 groups depending on the activity of the disease: 1 – chronic progressive sarcoidosis, 2 – chronic sarcoidosis in remission 6-12 months, 3 – chronic sarcoidosis in remission more than 14 months. RESULTS: The negative effect of the progression of sarcoidosis on GFR was revealed. The lowest rGFR and the highest albuminuria were observed in the group of patients with progressive sarcoidosis, a reliable correlation was obtained between the progression of pulmonary fibrosis and renal markers of CKD. CONCLUSION: Progression of chronic sarcoidosis leads to a decrease in kidney function and the formation of chronic kidney disease.
