Overview
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome. Although, chest x ray studies are frequently nonspecific and subtle. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of hepatopulmonary syndrome include mild interstitial pattern in the bilateral, lower lung fields due to the pulmonary vascular dilatation that might misinterpreted as interstitial lung disease. We should keep in mind that chest x-ray is often unremarkable in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome, and hence a a normal radiograph does not rule out hepatopulmonary syndrome.
X Ray
An x-ray may be helpful in the diagnosis of hepatopulmonary syndrome. Although, chest x ray studies are frequently nonspecific and subtle. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of hepatopulmonary syndrome include:
- Mild interstitial pattern in the bilateral, lower lung fields due to the pulmonary vascular dilatation that might misinterpreted as interstitial lung disease.
- We should keep in mind that chest x-ray is often unremarkable in patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome, and hence a a normal radiograph does not rule out hepatopulmonary syndrome.
