Abstract: BACKGROUND Lung transplant recipients undergo bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) to detect antecedents of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), but routine assessment of BAL cytology is controversial. We hypothesized that inflammation on BAL cytology would predict CLAD-free… read more here.
