Abstract：
The hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is characterized by arterial oxygenation defect induced by intrapulmonary vascular dilatations in the setting of liver disease. We report a 57-year-old woman with a history of liver cirrhosis presented with progressive cyanosis, exertional dyspnea and a dry cough. Oxyhemoglobin saturation was 88.5% on room air. Contrast transthoracic echocardiography (cTTE) and technetium-99m-macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) scintigraphy showed an intrapulmonary shunting and confirmed HPS.
摘要：
肝肺综合征（HPS）的特征是在肝病背景下由肺内血管扩张引起的动脉氧合缺陷。我们报告了一名57岁的女性，有肝硬化病史，并伴有进行性紫癜，劳力性呼吸困难和干咳。室内空气中氧合血红蛋白饱和度为88.5%。经胸超声心动图（cTTE）和tech-99m-巨聚白蛋白（99mTc-MAA）闪烁显像显示肺内分流并证实了HPS。
