Pulmonary function in sarcoidosis.

R G Benjamin, M A Sackner

    Sarcoidosis
    |September 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Pulmonary function tests reveal key lung abnormalities in sarcoidosis, such as reduced diffusing capacity and lung volumes. Serial testing helps monitor disease progression or improvement over time.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonary Medicine
    • Respiratory Physiology

    Background:

    • Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease.
    • Pulmonary involvement is common in sarcoidosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To elucidate the role of pulmonary function testing in understanding sarcoidosis pathophysiology.
    • To identify common functional abnormalities associated with sarcoidosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) were utilized.
    • Analysis of PFT parameters in patients with sarcoidosis.

    Main Results:

    • Key findings include decreased diffusing capacity, lung compliance, and lung volumes.
    • Arterial oxygen desaturation during exercise is frequently observed.
