Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) is a relatively new technique for assessment of the alveolar compartment of the lung. Its current clinical applications are the initial assessment of acute and chronic diffuse interstitial lung disease and the diagnosis of pulmonary infections, especially in the immunocompromised host. In addition, BAL provides information on the pathophysiology of diffuse interstitial lung disease. Future studies of BAL fluids should confirm its use in the prognostic assessment of diffuse interstitial lung diseases and in the assessment of effects of therapy.
支气管肺泡灌洗（BAL）是一种用于评估肺肺泡腔的相对较新的技术。其目前的临床应用包括对急性和慢性弥漫性间质性肺疾病的初步评估以及肺部感染的诊断，尤其是在免疫功能低下宿主中。此外，BAL可提供有关弥漫性间质性肺疾病病理生理学的信息。对BAL液的未来研究应证实其在弥漫性间质性肺疾病预后评估及治疗效果评估中的应用价值。
