Sarcoidosis is diagnosed by performing a biopsy and X-ray. However, because the symptoms are the same as for Tuberculosis, a TB test is done as a precotionery step. In teaching hospitals, professors specialised in pulmonary diseases are responsible and there are hospitals that specialise in e.g. Lung and Heart disease, where consultants and registrars are assigned to the Sarcoidosis clinics.
Regular blood tests are sometimes required dpending on the medication yoi are taking. This is because some medications can affect other organs inn the body. Scans do help professionals to look deeper into an organ to ascertain the activity of the granulomas hence, these are vital. Lung Function tests help to understand the capability of the lungs. Weight is measured regularly too because when you start taking steroids, there is a likelihood of weight gain.
