sarcoidosis rarely causes COPD. It more likely to cause interstitial lung disease instead. The difference between COPD and interstitial lung disease is the the former is OBSTRUCTIVE in nature whereas the later is restrictive in nature.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a serious lung disease that makes it harder and harder for you to breathe. COPD includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. The leading cause is cigarette smoke. It is estimated that 24 million people in the U.S. have evidence of impaired lung function, and nearly 13 million have been diagnosed with COPD. This makes COPD an under-diagnosed and under-treated disease. COPD is the 4th leading cause of death, and the 2nd leading cause of disability.
