✦ Synopsis

rterial hypoxemia (hemoglobin saturation A <92%, arterial oxygen pressure [Pao21 <70 mm Hg or alveolar-arterial gradient > 2 5 mm Hg) occurs with varying frequency (1 1% to 69%) in series of patients with advanced liver This report discusses the pathophysiology of such hypoxemia and updates the clinician on current thoughts concerning differential diagnosis, etiology, and reversibility of abnormal oxygenation in liver disease.
