Transplantation PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Mild hypoxia has been seen in approximately one third of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD). Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is an important cause in a patient with hypoxemia and CLD. HPS in patients with CLD modifies the line of management and determines the prognosis of the disease. HPS is characterized by arterial de-oxygenation, intrapulmonary vascular dilatation (IPVD) in the setting of liver disease. This study was undertaken to assess the prevalence of HPS and to find predictive value of respiratory parameters in the diagnosis of HPS in patients admitted for liver transplant evaluation. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Amrut Sindhu Sanikop, Raj SinghNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
