    Document: Disclosures: Disclosures to report. Devices and test strips were provided by manufacturers (Wel-lionVet). Considerable variation has been reported in total cell counts and concentration of biochemical markers due to variable recovery of pulmonary epithelial lining fluid (PELF) in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. A number of chronic respiratory conditions can be difficult to diagnose definitively and accounting for dilution of PELF may allow us to better differentiate respiratory disease. Differentiation of various chronic respiratory diseases may be made via analysis of BAL fluid using urea concentration of BAL relative to blood urea concentration as a marker of dilution of PELF. Assessment of cell counts after adjusting for dilution may allow differentiation of the primary disease process in dogs presenting with respiratory signs.
