Abstract

Sarcoidosis is a complex multisystem disease whose impact on daily functioning and work ability is often underestimated. Traditional medical assessments tend to focus primarily on objective parameters such as lung function, while difficult-to-measure yet disabling symptoms - such as fatigue, cognitive impairment, and pain - are frequently overlooked. This can lead to incomplete and sometimes unjust assessments of work capacity. A holistic approach that integrates clinical findings with patient experiences is essential for obtaining a realistic and compassionate picture of functioning. Consulting sarcoidosis experts supports personalized evaluations and tailored workplace adjustments. This patient-centered strategy enhances autonomy and fosters shared decision-making.
