Abstract
The standard armamentarium of tests that are used by pulmonologist are laboratory tests, pulmonary function tests, different radiological techniques (conventional chest-X rays, HRCT scans, etc) and pathohistological analyses of biopsies. The minimally invasive bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) procedure, in addition to methods earlier mentioned, is an important diagnostic instrument that can facilitate the diagnosis of various diffuse lung diseases (DLD). BAL fluid white blood cell profiles are analyzed, malignant cells looked for, and in certain circumstances particular stains are performed to detect yet other cell types. Additionally, BAL can play a very important role in the diagnosis of respiratory tract infections. All these analyses are usually readily performed in a moderately equipped cytological laboratory.
Abstract in Croatian
Standardni armamentarium testova kojima se koriste pulmolozi su laboratorijski testovi, testovi plućne funkcije, različite slikovne tehnike (konvencionalni rendgenološki pregled, kompjutorizirana tomografija i druge) i patohistološka analiza bioptata. Minimalno invazivna tehnika bronhoalveolarne lavaže, uz ranije spomenute tehnike, važan je dijagnostički instrument koji olakšava dijagnostiku različitih difuznih plućnih bolesti. Analiziraju se upalne stanice bronhoalveolarnog lavata, traže se maligne, i u određenim okolnostima vrše se dodatna bojenja kako bi se detektirale i neke druge stanice. Dodatno, analiza lavata je vrlo značajna u dijagnostici infekcija respiratornog trakta. Sve ove analize mogu se izvesti u umjereno ekipiranom citološkom laboratoriju.
