Sarcoidosis is a systemic disease with a number of extrapulmonary manifestations, rarely limited to a single system. The objective of this review is to provide a overview of the systemic features of sarcoidosis and their surveillance. Sarcoidosis is disease that can affect any organ system, resulting in a number of complications that can cause significant morbidity and mortality, including ophthalmological and cardiac complications. A number of investigations play a role in identifying manifestations of sarcoidosis. Respiratory physicians have an important role to play in identifying complications and monitoring patients with sarcoidosis, as they may be the first to encounter them.
