ABSTRACT
Sarcoidosis is a multi-organ medical condition that is characterized by the formation of granulomas. We aimed to identify a correlation between each sarcoidosis blood biomarker and cystatin C (Cys-C) in sarcoidosis patients. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with sarcoidosis. The correlation between his Cys-C and each blood biomarker level and that between each blood biomarker and serum creatinine levels were determined using linear regression. Serum Cys-C correlated with each blood biomarker of sarcoidosis, while creatinine did not. These findings suggest that Cys-C is a potential blood biomarker for sarcoidosis.
