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 ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Sarcoidosis
Respiration, 1985Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed in 1,188 patients suffering from sarcoidosis. After technical considerations, the authors analyze the results of BAL from a practical point of view concerning its value for the diagnosis of sarcoidosis and its prognostic value and its value for the selection of therapy, particularly for the decision as to ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in a Pediatric Population
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2021Abstract Objectives The cytomorphologic findings of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in pediatrics were correlated with clinical symptoms. Methods Patient demographics, clinical symptoms/history, cytomorphologic findings, and oil red O ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage in pediatrics
The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996Bronchoalveolar lavage is a relatively new technique that is used to study the local cellular, biochemical and immunological changes occurring in the lower respiratory tract. The procedure involves instilling a fixed volume of saline into a lung segment after the flexible fibreoptic bronchoscope is wedged into a distal bronchus. The saline is aspirated

American Review of Respiratory Disease, 1991
A significant limitation of standard bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) technique is the inability to measure or calculate epithelial lining fluid (ELF) volume and, therefore, in vivo concentrations of substances in the ELF. We evaluated a new rewash BAL procedure with the radiolabeled tracer technetium pertechnetate (99mTcO4-) that theoretically should be ...

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Asbestosis
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1983The interstitial lung disease associated with asbestosis is unique in that the etiological agent and its effects on the pulmonary parenchyma can be studied on a serial basis using bronchoalveolar lavage. In this way both disease activity and structural derangements can be assessed and used in the treatment of the affected individual.

Bronchoalveolar Lavage in Lung Cancer
Respiration, 1992The analysis of soluble and cellular components of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluids might help the diagnosis of a specific tumour. Up to now disease specific humoral constituents have not yet been found. Concerning cellular recovery, BAL can be useful particularly in patients with bronchiolo-alveolar carcinoma.
