Sarcoidosis is an autoimmune disease with no known cause or cure that can affect multiple organs. Lumps called granulomas develop in affected organs. These granulomas are clusters of inflammatory cells and can prevent that organ from working properly.

Sarcoidosis is a rare condition affecting around 1 in 10,000 in the UK. Sarcoidosis is fatal for around 5% of patients, although this figure is much higher for those with the chronic condition. SarcoidosisUK is a small charity with big ambitions, working hard to improve the lives of sarcoidosis patients. As a small charity, your support makes such a big difference.

SarcoidosisUK works hard to achieve four primary goals: information, support, research and awareness. For more information about our work, please click here.
