It was diagnosed by accident. I was scheduled for a routing blood checkup and they found it. I believe the best test that they can do is a PET scan. A Pet scan takes a look on how your body consume sugars (energy). Sarcoidosis are little granulomas (grain size tumors) that resides on and in any organ in the body. Like all tumors, they consume more sugar than normal cells and show up as bright spots on an MRI. For me, my liver, spleen, and lymph nodes all showed up as big bright spots.

Biopsy or X-ray or Cat scan

The best way to diagnose are quite as through a biopsy. It can take a while before a doctor can come to the point where he thinks about sarcoid because it is not a normal disease and can mimic many other diseases. If you have Lupus you should probably be tested for sarcoid if you have unexplained problems. Or if you have had Lyme disease.

Dependent on the type of Sarcoidosis there are various tests: X-ray of the lungs, PET Scan, Gallium Scan, Biopsy, CT Scan and various blood tests. The condition requires monitoring on a regular basis therefore repeat testing may be required.

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.

Usually diagnosed with a biopsy. I recommend seeing a pulmunologist, rhumetologist, opthalmologist, and dermatologist.

Sarcoidosis is usually detected by granulomas and/or enlarged lymph nodes being seen on a xray or CT. It can be confirmed with a bronchoscopy and biopsy. A pulmonologist will perform the procedure.

CT scans, PET scans, biopsies. A pulmonologist a thoracic surgeon, a cardiologist, internist or other specialist.

The best way to diagnose Sarcoidosis is by doing a biopsy of the lung or eye tissue if you have Sarcoidosis legions in your eyes.

Translated from french Improve translation

The Sarcoidose is discovered by using a scanner in the chest. And it is diagnosed following a biopsy under different interventions : The Fiberoptic Endoscopy In The Chest. The mediastinoscopie.
