Description
We report a 70-year-old man with hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) in C liver cirrhosis. Hypoxemia worsened markedly, especially on exertion, while the hepatic function was clinically stable. Contrast echocardiography, 99mTc macroaggregated albumin (99mTcMAA) lung scan, and pulmonary angiography were performed. The findings suggested the presence of both intrapulmonary vascular dilatation and substantial right-to-left shunt. The contribution of intrapulmonary vascular abnormalities in patients with severe liver cirrhosis without abnormal chest radiography and spirometry tests when marked hypoxemia is present should be investigated.
