Enhanced pulmonary production of nitric oxide (NO) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). NO inhibition with N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME) in both animals and humans with HPS has improved arterial hypoxemia. We assessed the role of enhanced NO produc
Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) is defined as hypoxemia induced by intrapulmonary vascular dilations associated with liver disease. Although liver transplantation (LT) is the only effective therapy established for severe HPS, patients with a partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO 2 ) less than 60 m
Spontaneous resolution of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) without liver transplantation or improvement in the underlying liver disease has rarely been reported in the literature. Increased endogenous production of nitric oxide has been implicated in the pathogenesis of HPS. We report the case of a 50
