Symptoms
Diagnosis
- elevated ACE level can suggest sarcoidosis
- sarcoidosis labs and diagnosis
- lofgren syndrome is sarcoidosis with constitution of symptoms
- sarcoidosis PFT findings
- sarcoidosis staging is based on involvement on CT imaging
- lymphocyte predominant BAL can suggest sarcoidosis
- cardiac sarcoid diagnosis is important
Treatment
- sarcoidosis treatment
- limited cutaneous sarcoidosis can be treated with topical creams or hydroxychloroquine
- sarcoidosis and transplant
Follow up
Extrapulmonary sarcoidosis
Image Findings
- pulmonary sarcoidosis findings include mediastinal lymphadenopathy and perilymphatic nodules
- garland triad on CXR can suggest sarcoidosis
- PET CT and MRI can be used to diagnose sarcoidosis involvement
- bone lesions can be seen in sarcoid disease
- Patient with bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy, erythema nodosum, anterior uveitis likely has sarcoidosis
