Unknown: We are not sure what causes sarcoidosis; it is likely an environmental exposure that occurs in susceptible individuals due to genetics. Some people can die from sarcoidosis but many others recover completely and have no further disability. It is important to see a doctor for this condition, preferably one with a lot of experience in treating patients with sarcoidosis.
