I tried my best to be unbiased as I was expecting to see about a 20% improvement in health of members, or in other words a 20-25% success rate. I was intending to compare this to the 10% success rate I found done on the use of prednisone to treat Sarcoidosis. That double blind report shows that 10% treated with prednisone achieve remission. (BTW remission in Sarcoidosis as far as I can find out is measured rather subjectively) | I tried my best to be unbiased as I was expecting to see about a 20% improvement in health of members, or in other words a 20-25% success rate.

* **obstructive lung disease** – It's a little-recognized fact that sarcoidosis can cause PFTs results to indicate obstructive lung disease (sarcoidosis is considered a restrictive lung disease). This is because chest lymph nodes may become so enlarged they compress airways and/or granulomas themselves may obstruct airways.

- | * **pulmonary fibrosis** – Formation or development of fibrous connective tissue in the lungs. Also called scarring, the creation of collagen allows the body to encase pathogens which have been missed by the immune system. Symptoms of pulmonary fibrosis include shortness of breath, a chronic dry cough, and chest discomfort. The angiotensin blockade (put into place by olmesartan) inhibits the formation of new fibrotic tissue. | + | * **pulmonary fibrosis** – Formation or development of fibrous connective tissue in the lungs.
