Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a bronchoscopic technique that reveals specific insight in the distal parts of lung parenchyma. During the past twenty years, research of cellular and extracellular bronchoalveolar profiles gave important information on pathogenesis of some pulmonary disorders, promoting this technique as a diagnostic tool in pulmonary infections and interstitial lung diseases. Bronchoalveolar lavage is a safe, well-tolerated and suitable diagnostic procedure in immunocompromised patients. The patients with alveolar proteinosis gain therapeutic benefit of bronchoalveolar lavage. In this article we described technical notes, sampling, storage, cellular and noncellular analyses of bronchoalveolar lavage, including interpretation of results and significance in pulmonary diseases.
支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）是一种支气管镜技术，可对肺实质的远端部分进行特异性观察。在过去二十年中，对支气管肺泡细胞和细胞外成分的研究为某些肺部疾病的发病机制提供了重要信息，使该技术成为肺部感染和间质性肺疾病的诊断工具。支气管肺泡灌洗对免疫功能低下的患者来说是一种安全、耐受性良好且适用的诊断程序。肺泡蛋白沉积症患者可从支气管肺泡灌洗中获得治疗益处。在本文中，我们描述了支气管肺泡灌洗的技术要点、采样、储存、细胞和非细胞分析，包括结果解读及其在肺部疾病中的意义。
