which one is common in sarcoidosis?

hypercalcemia or hypercalciuria


  #2

I think it is hypercalcemia

  #3

nod

  #4

i am not sure...but logically hypercalciuria should be more common...this is how it happens i think....about 10% of normocalcemic patients in sarcoidosis patients have hypercalciuria.....and patients with hypercalcemia do have hypercalciuria as such consequent to increase blood calcium...so 10% extra....this is jut logic..i dont know the answer
