Sarcoidosis of lymph nodes - what does this mean
Sarcoidosis of lymph nodes is caused by an abnormal accumulation of inflammatory cells, predominantly granulomas, in the lymph nodes. these granulomas cause the lymph nodes to become enlarged and can lead to a range of symptoms, including fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes. in some cases, the lymph nodes may become so enlarged that they can press on other organs and cause further complications.
What happens during the disease - sarcoidosis of lymph nodes
Sarcoidosis of lymph nodes is a chronic inflammatory disorder caused by the accumulation of activated t cells and macrophages within the lymph nodes. these cells produce an excess of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which leads to the formation of granulomas and the enlargement of the lymph nodes. this can lead to tissue damage, lymph node enlargement, and the formation of scar tissue.
