Hepatopulmonary syndrome causes

The most common cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome is chronic liver disease with any etiology. Less common causes of hepatopulmonary syndrome include acute liver disease.

The most common cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome is chronic liver disease with any etiology. ^[1][2]

Common causes of chronic liver disease as the common cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome may include:

• • Alcoholic liver disease
  • Cirrhosis due to viral disease like HBV, HCV
  • None alcoholic fatty liver disease (NASH)
  • Chronic biliary obstruction
  • Autoimmune disorders such as:
    • Autoimmune hepatitis
    • Primary biliary cholangitis
    • Primary sclerosing cholangitis
  • Cryptogenic (idiopathic) cirrhosis

Less common causes of chronic liver disease as the common cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome may include:

• Alpha-one antitrypsin deficiency
• Wilson’s disease
• Hemochromatosis
• Toxin and drug-induced liver disease
• Less common causes of hepatopulmonary syndrome include acute liver disease.

• Hepatopulmonary syndrome is not caused by a mutation in a gene. nevertheless, the following gene polymorphism might play a role in susceptibility of developing hepatopulmonary syndrome in patients with liver disorders:
  • CAV3
