Resumen

GIMENEZ, Cintia Lorena et al. Importancia de los macrófagos cargados con hemosiderina en el diagnóstico de la hemorragia alveolar difusa. Acta bioquím. clín. latinoam. [online]. 2022, vol.56, n.4, pp.407-413. ISSN 0325-2957.

Difusse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a clinical syndrome with high mortality. Its diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological and cytological tests. The objective of this study was to ratify the reference value of hemosiderophages in bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) (hemosiderophagues ≥20%), to correlate with the etiology and define the pre-analytical conditions for the Perls reaction to reach high sensitivity values. Out of the 109 samples from patients with suspected ADH, 90 were analysed for meeting the inclusion criteria; 36 were positive for HAD, 3 were false negatives, and 51 were negative (sensitivity 92%; specificity 100%). The median number of hemosiderophagues for samples with a diagnosis of ADH was 70%; they were grouped according to etiology: pure infectious processes (PI), pure autoimmune diseases (AD), pure neoplastic diseases (ND), autoimmune diseases plus infectious processes (AD + PI), and miscellaneous (MI). The median number of hemosiderophagues for each group was: PI (n=7) 50%, AD (n=15) 58%, ND (n=6) 73%, AD + PI (n=5) 80%, ND + PI (n=4) 80%, MI (n=2) 45% (p=0.57). The percentage of deceased patients was 49% (n=19), with a median hemosiderophague of 70%, compared with 64% of non-deceased patients (p=0.25). The reference value to establish the diagnosis of ADH in BAL simples obtained 36 hours after the beginning of symptoms using the Perls reaction was ratified, which shows a high sensitivity and specificity to make the diagnosis of ADH.
