Sarcoidosis

Sarcoidosis is a condition characterized by the growth of small clusters of inflammatory cells, known as granulomas, in various organs. These granulomas often begin in the lungs, skin, or lymph nodes but can affect other organs as well, potentially impacting their function and causing a range of symptoms.

At Revere Health, our specialists are experienced in diagnosing and managing sarcoidosis, providing personalized care to alleviate symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.

Commonly Affected Areas:
Lungs: Shortness of breath, persistent cough, and chest pain are common symptoms when the lungs are involved.
Skin: Skin symptoms can include rashes, lesions, or nodules, often appearing on the face, neck, arms, or legs.
Lymph Nodes: Swelling of lymph nodes, particularly around the neck or chest area, is common in sarcoidosis.

Treatment Options:
Medication: Corticosteroids are commonly used to reduce inflammation, and other immunosuppressive medications may be prescribed for severe cases.
Symptom Management: Treatments focused on managing specific symptoms, such as lung issues or skin lesions, can improve patient comfort.
Regular Monitoring: Periodic check-ups help track the progression of the condition and adjust treatment as needed.

Benefits of Early Diagnosis and Treatment:
Symptom Relief: Early treatment can alleviate symptoms, such as coughing, fatigue, and skin discomfort.
Organ Protection: Managing sarcoidosis helps prevent complications that could lead to organ damage over time.
Improved Quality of Life: With proper care, patients can lead active, fulfilling lives despite their diagnosis.
