The easiest way to show what organs are involved is with a simple chart. This chart will show the organ involved on the left and the percent of patients with this organ involved. You can also get sarcoidosis in the brain. In severe cases sarcoidosis can be life threatening, especially if there is multi-organ involvement. There is no known cure for sarcoidosis, but there are a few ways to make the patient more comfortable.
Prednisone is an anti-inflammatory drug that is prescribed to patients of sarcoidosis.
The vast majority of patients don t even need treatment, because the sarcoidosis leaves on it s own. For those who do need a treatment, there are new ways being developed to control the immune system s over-reaction. In conclusion I would like to add a few personal notes. Sarcoidosis is a life style altering disease, I know this first hand from watching my dad. There was a time when dad was able to swim, run, and play with us.
