Overview

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) must be differentiated from portopulmonary hypertension (PPH) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).

Differentiating Hepatopulmonary Syndrome from other Diseases

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) must be differentiated from portopulmonary hypertension (PPH) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).

Differentiating hepatopulmonary syndrome from other diseases on the basis of pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis , contrast enhanced echocardiography; 99mTc scan: lung perfusion scintigraphy with technetium 99mTc labeled macro aggregated albumin, chest CT scan , pulmonary angiography, and pulmonary function test.

On the basis pulse oximetry, arterial blood gas (ABG) analysis , contrast enhanced echocardiography; 99mTc scan: lung perfusion scintigraphy with technetium 99mTc labeled macro aggregated albumin, chest CT scan , pulmonary angiography, and pulmonary function test, hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) must be differentiated from portopulmonary hypertension (PPH) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).[1]

  • Platypnea (increased shortness of breath when the body is in a vertical position) and orthodeoxia (3-10 mmHg reduction in РаО2 in capillary blood during transition from horizontal to vertical position)
  • 99mTc scan: lung perfusion scintigraphy with technetium 99mTc labeled macro aggregated albumin
  • Chronic liver disease symptoms including, Itching, easy bruising, abdominal fullness, decreased libido, abdominal distension, and fatigue.
  • Chronic liver disease signs including, spider angioma, red palms, edema, gynecomastia
  • Respiratory symptoms including, shortness of breath, clubbed fingers, and cyanosis.
  • Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) must be differentiated from portopulmonary hypertension (PPH) and hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
