Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that can affect any organ in the body, but most often affects the lungs. People with sarcoidosis have abnormal masses, called granulomas, that can damage an organ, causing it to change or stop working right. Some people with sarcoidosis have few or very minor symptoms, others have very serious illness.
Regardless of your sarcoidosis symptoms, you can trust the experts at National Jewish Health in Denver, Colorado. Our sarcoidosis program is the largest in Colorado and in the Rocky Mountain region. Our team of specialists works with you to manage your sarcoidosis and improve your quality of life.
Because our doctors are researchers too, you’ll have access to the latest sarcoidosis clinical trials and most effective therapies.
National Jewish Health is recognized by the World Association for Sarcoidosis and Other Granulomatous Diseases (WASOG) as a WASOG Sarcoidosis Clinic. This designation provides formal recognition of our team’s commitment to meet the needs of sarcoidosis patients and efforts to keep abreast of the ongoing advances and findings in the space.
