Monitoring of Sarcoidosis - 18/01/24

, Athol Umfrey Wells, PhD, MD a, bRésumé |
This article focuses on the monitoring of pulmonary sarcoidosis. The monitoring of sarcoidosis is, in part, focused on serial change in major organ involvement but also includes diagnostic re-evaluation and review of change in quality of life. Recent criteria for progression of fibrotic interstitial lung disease are adapted to pulmonary sarcoidosis. The frequency and nature of monitoring are discussed, integrating baseline risk stratification and strategic treatment goals. Individual variables used to identify changes in pulmonary disease severity are discussed with a focus on their flaws and the need for a multidimensional approach. Other key monitoring issues are covered briefly.
