Abstract

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is accumulation of erythrocytes into the alveoli and is often caused
by pulmonary microcirculation resulting in systemic vasculitis. Immune and non-immune causes are
responsible for DAH etiology. Hemoptysis and dyspnea are the most common clinical symptoms.
Bilateral ground-glass opacity is seen at chest x-ray. Hemogram, renal function tests and
immunological markers are diagnostic laboratory tests. Diagnosis is made by macroscopic and
microscopic findings of bronco-alveolar lavage fluid. Treatments of the underlying disease as well as
immunosuppressive therapy especially high-dose corticosteroids are important in treatment of DAH

Abstract

Diffüz alveoler hemoraj (DAH) pulmoner mikro-sirkülasyondan kaynaklanan, sıklıkla sistemik bir
vaskülitin neden olduğu, alveol içine eritrosit birikmesidir. DAH etiyolojisinde immün ve non-immün
nedenler sorumludur. Hemoptizi ve nefes darlığı en sık karşılaşılan klinik semptomlardır. Akciğer
grafisinde bilateral buzlu cam dansiteleri izlenir. Hemogram, böbrek fonksiyon testleri ve immünolojik
belirteçler tanıya yardımcı laboratuvar testleridir. Bronko-alveoler lavaj sıvısının makroskopik ve
mikroskobik bulguları ile tanı konulur. Tedavisinde altta yatan hastalığın tedavisi yanı sıra, yüksek doz
kortikosteroid başta olmak üzere immünsupresif tedavi önem taşır.
