Functional evaluation in stage I pulmonary sarcoidosis. 1986

G Scano, and G C Monechi, and L Stendardi, and C Lo Conte, and A Van Meerhaeghe, and R Sergysels

A functional evaluation was performed in 9 non-smoking patients suffering from sarcoidosis characterized, on chest roentgenograms, by hilar adenopathies (stage I). Frequency dependence of compliance (5 cases) and decreased conductance of the upstream segment (3 cases) were the major findings. From this it is concluded that, even at stage I, small-airway impairment may be documented in some patients, suggesting the existence of peribronchiolar granulomatous infiltration.

D008170 Lung Compliance The capability of the LUNGS to distend under pressure as measured by pulmonary volume change per unit pressure change. While not a complete description of the pressure-volume properties of the lung, it is nevertheless useful in practice as a measure of the comparative stiffness of the lung.
