Its prevalence among cirrhotic patients varies from 4 to 47 percent. HPS exact pathogenesis remains unknown. In this review we summarized existing knowledge on the possible mechanisms and causes of the HPS. Pulmonary microvascular dilation and angiogenesis are two central pathogenic features that drive abnormal pulmonary gas exchange in experimental HPS, and thus might underlie HPS in humans. Despite these insights into the pathogenesis of experimental HPS, there is no established medical therapy, and liver transplantation remains the main treatment. Дод.точки доступу: Krynytska, I.Ya.
