Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sarcoidosis typically causes a restrictive ventilatory defect, which is characterized by a reduced lung volume and impaired ability to expand the lungs during inhalation. This occurs due to scarring or inflammation in the lung tissue, chest wall, or muscles involved in respiration. Sarcoidosis is not typically associated with obstructive ventilatory defects, hyperreactive airways, or primary pulmonary hypertension.
