A rare cause of hypoxia in a patient with liver cirrhosis.
Pulmonary syndromes in the setting of hepatic disease with portal hypertension include portopulmonary hypertension (POPH), hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) and hepatic hydrothorax. POPH is defined as pulmonary arterial hypertension with portal hypertension in the absence of other causes of pulmonary arterial hypertension. HPS is a defect in arterial oxygenation as a result of pulmonary micro vascular dilatation in the setting of liver disease. We discuss a case of 63-year-old female with liver cirrhosis, exertional dyspnea and hypoxia associated with coexistence of POPH and HPS. The coexistence of POPH and HPS is rare entity which can generate a renewal of interest in further understanding the intricate pathologies behind these diseases.
