US scientists have developed a new blood test to diagnose sarcoidosis, a chronic inflammatory disease, quickly and inexpensively. This test, detailed in the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, may reduce the need for more invasive diagnostic procedures commonly used to identify the disease. Researchers focused on two disease-specific antigen biomarkers found in patients with pulmonary sarcoidosis, allowing for the development of a highly specific blood test. This test has shown promising results in distinguishing sarcoidosis patients from those with other respiratory conditions, potentially streamlining the diagnostic process. While further testing is needed before clinical use, this advancement could revolutionize how sarcoidosis is diagnosed, offering a faster and less invasive approach for patients.
