Bronchoalveolar lavage is a valuable diagnostic technique when appropriate patient selection is made, which includes diseases that involve the pulmonary parenchyma and patients that can safely undergo general anesthesia. Bronchoalveolar lavage cytology has the potential to provide a definitive diagnosis or additional diagnostic information with a less ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Malignancy
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007Bronchoalveolar lavage is a useful diagnostic tool in diffuse or disseminated lung malignancies that do not involve the bronchial structures visible by endoscopy. The neoplastic histotype and the intraparenchymal neoplastic growth pattern are good predictors for diagnostic yield; adenocarcinoma, and tumors with lymphangitic or lepidic growth patterns ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) has become an established method for the diagnosis of infectious and interstitial lung diseases. Using a bronchoscope material from the peripheral airways and alveolar spaces can be obtained. When standard protocols are followed the procedure is generally well tolerated and in combination with clinical tests allows a ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage in a dolphin
Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 1997Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed twice to evaluate a stranded Atlantic bottle-nosed dolphin for pulmonary disease. A pediatric gastroscope with a working length of 1,090 mm and an outer diameter of 9.8 mm was of appropriate size for BAL in this dolphin.

The BAL is one of the essential methods which are performed as a routine diagnostic procedure in interstitial lung disease. Differentiation of cellular components and proteins by this method enables a characterization of alveolitis which is considered to be at the beginning of every disease of the structural elements of the lung.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Sarcoidosis
Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2007There is no single cell type present in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid that appears to be predictive for sarcoidosis. However, BAL fluid analysis can be very helpful in the differential diagnosis. A grouping of features, an elevated total cell count, predominantly lymphocytes, together with a nearly normal percentage of eosinophils and ...

Limitations of using urea to quantify epithelial lining fluid recovered by bronchoalveolar lavage.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015The quantitation of substances in the epithelial lining fluid (ELF) of the lower respiratory tract, as obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), is not precise because of the variable dilution of the ELF by the instilled lavage fluid.

Quantitative proteomics of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.
Journal of Proteome Research, 2015The proteomic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) can give insight into pulmonary disease pathology and response to therapy. Here, we describe the first gel-free quantitative analysis of BALF in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a chronic ...

Levels of elastase activity in bronchoalveolar lavage fluids of healthy smokers and nonsmokers.
American Review of Respiratory Disease, 2015Elastase activity was measured in concentrated, cell-free bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), using the synthetic substrate butyloxycarbonyl-L-alanyl-L-alanyl-L-prolyl-L-valyl-amino-methylcoumarin.
