Клиника UVA Health присоединилась к национальному реестру саркоидоза для улучшения лечения

UVA Health joins national sarcoidosis registry to improve treatment and research CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) -UVA Health is now part of a national sarcoidosis registry aimed at improving understanding of a complex immune disease that can affect nearly every organ in the body. Sarcoidosis most commonly affects the lungs but can also impact the heart, nervous system, and skin. Doctors say the disease can present differently from person to person, depending on occupational, environmental, and hereditary factors. Dr. Catherine Bonham, a sarcoidosis and lung disease specialist at UVA Health, said the registry will expand research specific to patients in Virginia. “It means that Virginians who have sarcoidosis are going to be a part of a national effort to understand the disease better,” Bonham said. “It means the types of sarcoidosis that we have in Virginia are going to be better studied, and we can develop better treatments for them.” UVA Health researchers said they hope the effort will better identify risk factors and ultimately improve outcomes for Virginians living with the condition.
