Sleep alters respiratory mechanics and gas exchange, which can adversely affect arterial oxygenation. Whether sleep affects oxygenation in hepatopulmonary syndrome is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess oxygen desaturation during sleep in hepatopulmonary syndrome. Twenty adults with cirrhos

Hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS) results when chronic liver disease or portal hypertension causes intrapulmonary microvascular dilatation with hypoxemia. In experimental HPS, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-␣) overproduction contributes to vasodilatation, which is improved by pentoxifylline, a TNF-␣

The mechanism of orthodeoxia (OD), or decreased partial pressure of arterial oxygen (PaO 2 ) from supine to upright, a characteristic feature of hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS), has never been comprehensively elucidated. We therefore investigated the intrapulmonary (shunt and ventilation-perfusion [V
