Summary: Although the etiology of sarcoidosis is unknown, genetic susceptibility has been demonstrated. Granuloma formation is a key feature in the pathophysiology of sarcoidosis and Crohnâs Disease, raising the possibility that these diseases share common pathogenetic pathways. An association between sarcoidosis and the protein âCD14â, a molecule that is part of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) cell [...]
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2010; 31: 409-418DOI: 10.1055/s-0030-1262209ABSTRACTBecause 75% of deaths attributable to sarcoidosis occur due to progressive respiratory failure, the staging of pulmonary disease and the accurate identification of changes in disease severity with time are both an essential part of clinical management. Historically, pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and chest radiographic appearances have [...]
