Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 9
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Cirrhosis of liver and its complications including pulmonary dysfunction are a major cause of death among adults and have several clinical implications with regard to their early detection and management. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY: Evaluation of patients for pulmonary manifestations in cirrhotic patients with special reference to arterial hypoxemia and lung function. METHODOLOGY: A prospective analysis of cirrhotic patients fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria. RESULTS: The prevalence of arterial hypoxemia in cirrhotic patients was present in 10 %, out of which 66.6% patients were detected to have Hepatopulmonary Syndrome (HPS). The severity of hypoxemia was positively correlated with severity of liver disease assessed by Child Pugh Score. CONCLUSION: Liver cirrhosis is associated with pulmonary complications. The early identification is crucial as it affects the prognosis and guides the further management.
