  • Urinary lithiasis is a common complication.
  • Lithogenic risk factors include hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the relationship between sarcoidosis and urinary lithogenesis.
  • To determine the prevalence of urinary lithiasis and risk factors in sarcoidosis patients.

Summary:
