Bronchoalveolar Lavage (Bal)

Bronchoalveolar Lavage (Bal) is a method of obtaining cellular material from the lungs. It is used mainly in examining the lungs and monitoring pulmonary diseases, as well as in the study of pulmonary infiltrates in patients with reduced immune system function.

Examination of cells in lavage fluid often helps determine the cause of lung disease. In combination with cytological and microbiological studies, it can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis for diseases such as pneumonia caused by the microorganism Pneumocystis carinii.

Bronchoalveolar lavage is a method of obtaining cellular materials from the lungs and is used primarily for examining the lungs and monitoring pulmonary diseases. It can also be used in the study of pulmonary infiltrates, especially in patients with a weakened immune system.

To carry out bronchoalveolar lavage, a special apparatus is used, which allows you to obtain fluid from the lungs and isolate cellular materials from it. This method allows you to determine the cause of lung disease by examining cells in the fluid.

In combination with other research methods, bronchoalveolar lavage can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis for lung diseases, such as pneumonia caused by the microorganism Pneumocystis carinii. This method is widely used in medicine to detect and treat pulmonary diseases in patients with various immune disorders.
