Human Gene Set: HP_ABNORMAL_BRONCHOALVEOLAR_LAVAGE_FLUID_MORPHOLOGY


Standard name HP_ABNORMAL_BRONCHOALVEOLAR_LAVAGE_FLUID_MORPHOLOGY
Systematic name M38555
Brief description Abnormal bronchoalveolar lavage fluid morphology
Full description or abstract Abnormal type or counts of nucleated immune cells and acellular components in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. BAL us performed with a fiberoptic bronchoscope in the wedged position within a selected bronchopulmonary segment. BAL is commonly used to inform the differential diagnosis of interstitial lung disease or to monitor therapeutic interventions. [https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0113-912X]
