About this listen

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Kathryn del Valle, M.D.

Chronic liver disease can result in a variety of complications which can involve multiple organs. One of these complications can occur in the pulmonary vascular system. Two of the most clinically significant include hepatopulmonary syndrome and Portopulmonary hypertension. Patients with these syndromes may present to their primary care provider and if the medical condition is unrecognized, it can affect morbidity and ultimately the prognosis of the patient. What are the early symptoms and physical findings of hepatopulmonary syndrome and Portopulmonary hypertension? How are they diagnosed, and should we be screening patients with chronic liver disease for these pulmonary vascular disorders? My guest for this podcast is Dr. Kathryn del Valle, from the Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care at the Mayo Clinic and we’ll be discussing “Pulmonary Vascular Complications of Liver Disease”.
