Evidence guiding management remains limited. We aimed to characterize clinical and histopathological features, renal outcomes, and predictors of recovery and relapse in patients with renal sarcoidosis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this retrospective, multicenter observational study across hospitals affiliated with the Spanish Group for the Study of Glomerular Diseases, we included patients with biopsy-confirmed renal sarcoidosis and\u00a0\u22656 months of follow-up. Primary outcomes were renal recovery (defined as\u00a0&amp;gt;50% improvement in estimated glomerular filtration rate) and disease relapse (renal or extrarenal). Secondary outcomes included progression to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and treatment-related complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this study, 60 patients with a mean age of 56.8 years were included. Tubulointerstitial involvement predominated (80%), with granulomatous interstitial nephritis in 56.7%, while 23.3% exhibited glomerular disease. Patients with interstitial-only patterns achieved more frequently renal recovery at 12 months compared with those with glomerular involvement (65.9% vs 20%, P\u00a0=\u00a0.013). Intravenous corticosteroid pulses were associated with faster renal improvement in our cohort, although it should be interpreted cautiously because of potential indication bias. Higher oral corticosteroid doses, prolonged high-dose exposure, or slower tapering strategies did not improve renal outcomes and were associated with increased complications. Over a median follow-up of 36 months, 38.3% of patients experienced relapse, and 6.7% of patients progressed to ESKD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Renal sarcoidosis exhibits heterogeneous presentations but substantial potential for renal recovery, particularly in patients with granulomatous interstitial nephritis. These findings may support further investigation of pathology-informed treatment strategies aimed at reducing corticosteroid exposure.
