ABSTRACT
Hepatopulmonary syndrome consists of a triad of chronic liver disease, pulmonary gas exchange abnormalities and pulmonary vascular dilatation in the absence of detectable cardiopulmonary disease. Patients usually present with symptoms of liver disease and the clinical recognition of this condition is a challenge. Newer non-invasive tests facilitate the diagnosis. Therapeutic strategies for this condition are still dismal. Liver transplantation is a possible curative option for a subgroup of patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome.
