Abstract in brief
- The American Thoracic Society (ATS) conducted a detailed review of research regarding the use of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) in diagnosing and managing interstitial lung disease (ILD), culminating in guidelines that recommend how to perform and interpret BAL.
- The guidelines emphasize that, when combined with clinical data and high-resolution imaging, BAL cell analysis can offer valuable insights for diagnosing ILD, although its utility is best understood within a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
- The recommendations are based on a systematic review of scientific literature from 1970 to 2011, addressing how to perform BAL procedures and interpret cellular patterns to aid clinical decision-making in ILD cases.
