Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. Adults with a diagnosis of sarcoidosis over the age of 18
  • 2. Case definition: we will follow the 1999 statement on sarcoidosis published by the American Thoracic Society for diagnosis which includes tissue biopsy confirmation and exclusion of alternative diagnoses including beryllium sensitization/chronic beryllium disease, mycobacterial, viral, and/or fungal infection
  • 1. Inability to tolerate study procedures as determined by the investigator
  • 2. Pregnant or breastfeeding
  • 3. Concurrent medical diagnoses that would influence the expression of biomarkers will be considered an exclusion criterion. This includes diseases such as common variable immunodeficiency, HIV infection, or autoimmune diseases
  • 4. Concurrent interstitial lung diseases such as hypersensitivity pneumonitis or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
  • 5. Hematocrit (Packed Cell Volume) \< 25%
