Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) by LBC in Bangalore
Overview
Bronchoalveolar Lavage or BAL is a minimally invasive procedure. A sterile normal saline solution is instilled into a subsegment of the lung, which is then suctioned out and collected for analysis. This includes examining different cell types, such as macrophages, neutrophils, lymphocytes, and epithelial cells. This provides valuable information on the cellular components present in the respiratory system. Bronchoalveolar Lavage (BAL) by Liquid-Based Cytology (LBC) is a diagnostic procedure that involves collecting cells and fluid from the lower respiratory tract. During the procedure, a bronchoscope is used to infuse sterile saline solution into a lung segment, which is then withdrawn along with cellular components. LBC is employed to process the collected samples, improving cell preservation and slide preparation. The technique allows for microscopic examination, aiding in the diagnosis of respiratory conditions such as infections, inflammation, malignancies, and interstitial lung diseases. The results obtained from BAL by LBC provide valuable insights for clinical decision-making, treatment planning, and monitoring of respiratory disorders, enhancing patient care in the field of pulmonology.
