Understanding Sarcoidosis: Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment Options at Artus Lungs Clinic

Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body, but most commonly involves the lungs. It causes the formation of small clumps of inflammatory cells called granulomas, which can interfere with the proper functioning of the affected organs.

Symptoms of Sarcoidosis:

Symptoms of sarcoidosis can vary depending on the organs involved and the severity of the disease. The most common symptoms include:

Lung: Cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, wheezing, fatigue.
Skin: Reddish-brown bumps or patches, especially on the face, arms, or legs.
Eyes: Redness, pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light.
Joints: Pain, swelling, stiffness, especially in the ankles and knees.
Lymph nodes: Swollen lymph nodes, especially in the chest, neck, and armpits.

Causes of Sarcoidosis:

The exact cause of sarcoidosis is unknown. However, several factors are believed to play a role, including:

Genetics: People with a family history of sarcoidosis are at higher risk of developing the disease.
Environmental exposure: Exposure to certain environmental triggers, such as dust, smoke, and chemicals, may increase the risk.
Immune system: A malfunction in the immune system may lead to the formation of granulomas.

Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis:

Dr. Apar Agarwal at Artus Lungs Clinic, Meerut, utilizes a combination of diagnostic tools to confirm sarcoidosis, including:

Physical examination: Checking for signs and symptoms of the disease.
Chest X-ray: Imaging the lungs to look for granulomas.
CT scan: Providing detailed images of the lungs and other organs.
Blood tests: Checking for markers of inflammation and other abnormalities.
Biopsy: Taking a small tissue sample from the affected organ for examination under a microscope.

Treatment Options for Sarcoidosis at Artus Lungs Clinic:

There is no cure for sarcoidosis, but treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent complications. Dr. Apar Agarwal offers personalized treatment plans based on the severity of the disease and the affected organs. These may include:

Corticosteroids: These medications reduce inflammation and are the mainstay of treatment for sarcoidosis.
Immunosuppressant medications: These medications suppress the immune system and may be used in cases where corticosteroids are not effective or cause side effects.
Other medications: Depending on the specific symptoms, other medications such as pain relievers, cough suppressants, and oxygen therapy may be prescribed.
Pulmonary rehabilitation: This program helps patients with sarcoidosis improve their breathing function and exercise tolerance.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to remove the granulomas or other damaged tissues.
