BAL (bronchoalveolar lavage)

COVID-19 GBK English to Croatian Medical Medical (general)
Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) or bronchoalveolar washing is a diagnostic procedure by which cells and other components from bronchial and alveolar spaces are obtained for various studies. One of the main advantages of BAL is that it can be done as a day care procedure. Material obtained by BAL can give a definite diagnosis in conditions such as infections and malignancies.

Example sentences:
Bronhoalveolarna lavaža, kao relativno sigurna i nisko invazivna tehnika, danas ima značajnu primjenu u dijagnostici plućnih infiltrata u imunokompromitiranih bolesnika. U pojedinih bolesnika s alveolarnom proteinozom BAL se koristi i kao terapijska metoda. (CROSBI)
