The end stages of sarcoidosis can involve significant organ damage and dysfunction, particularly affecting the lungs, heart, and liver. In severe cases, patients may experience pulmonary fibrosis, leading to respiratory failure, or cardiac involvement that can result in arrhythmias or heart failure. Other complications may include granulomatous inflammation in the eyes and skin. Management focuses on alleviating symptoms and preventing further complications, often requiring long-term monitoring.
