Condition

ILD & sarcoidosis

The specialist clinic for scarred lungs.

Interstitial lung disease and sarcoidosis change the lung’s own tissue. They need a specialist reading of the scan, the diffusion test and — often — a sample.

Signs worth a visit

Dry cough and breathlessness that slowly worsen, crackles heard by a doctor, or a scan that mentions fibrosis.

How it is tested here

Diffusion (DLCO), a six-minute walk with oxygen readings, HRCT review, and EBUS when lymph nodes need sampling.
