Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is an uncommon inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body but most commonly the lungs. We see patients with pulmonary and non-pulmonary disease and often work in a team with other specialists.

We will confirm the diagnosis using CT scan and biopsy of relevant tissue if necessary. Then we consider if treatment is necessary or whether surveillance will suffice. Many patients never require treatment but they will need ongoing followup, usually for a number of years.
