Late Resolution of Hepatopulmonary Syndrome after Liver Transplantation

View through CrossRef
We report a 38-year-old patient with hepatopulmonary syndrome related to posthepatitis C liver cirrhosis. After liver transplantation, hypoxemia initially worsened markedly, then resolved completely 14 months after transplantation. Liver transplantation may be a reliable treatment of hepatopulmonary syndrome, but clinicians should be aware that the correction of hypoxemia may be delayed and that transient deterioration is possible.
