    Abstract: Methods, kits and devices for assessing bile acid in a donor lung and/or a transplant recipient are described. The methods involve obtaining from the donor lung or transplant recipient a bronchial wash sample, optionally a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) sample or a large airway bronchial wash (LABW) sample; measuring in the bronchial wash sample the level of bile acid and optionally one or more inflammation markers, comparing biomarker levels with a control or cut-off level, wherein a differential biomarker level is indicative of an outcome of the donor lung or transplant recipient, including risk of aspiration, suitability of the donor lung, or risk of a particular outcome in the transplant recipient.
