Where does sarcoidosis come from?
It is thought that sarcoidosis happens because the immune system has gone into "overdrive", where the body starts to attack its own tissues and organs. The resulting inflammation then causes granulomas to develop in the organs. There are many similar conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, that are caused by the body attacking its own tissues. These are collectively known as autoimmune conditions. It is not known why the immune system behaves like this, but research is being carried out to see what triggers sarcoidosis.
