Abstract
Portopulmonary hypertension (PoPH), a subtype of pulmonary arterial hypertension, is characterized by the presence of pulmonary hypertension in patients with liver cirrhosis and high hepatic venous pressure gradient and continues to pose a clinical challenge.Current evidence indicates that supportive care in combination with pulmonary arterial hypertension-targeted therapy can allow patients with PoPH to undergo liver transplantation.This article presents a brief clinical case followed by a review of the epidemiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management of PoPH.
