Approach to Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage

Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) is a serious condition characterized by bleeding in the alveoli of the lungs. The approach to diffuse alveolar hemorrhage involves identifying and treating the underlying cause of the bleeding. Prompt recognition and diagnosis of DAH are essential to initiate...

• Diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) involves bleeding into the alveoli, often presenting with symptoms similar to other respiratory diseases, posing a diagnostic challenge.
