Abstract

Pulmonary dysfunction is a common feature in patients with long standing liver affection and up to 70% of patients with liver cirrhosis are complaining of dyspnea. Hypoxia has been seen in approximately one third of patients with chronic hepatic disease and the development of hypoxemia in patients with chronic liver disease may change the treatment.
