Abstract:
Objective To investigate the protection of the lung function in liver transplantation for the liver failure patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome. Methods Clinical data of 8 liver transplanted patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome from 52 cases of liver transplantation were retrospectively analyzed to summarize the protection of the lung function in liver transplantation for the liver failure patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome. The protection of liver and renal function, the effect of microbes ferments for enhancing immunologic function of mucosal system, and the proper application of oxygen treatment was observed. Results The lung function of 8 cases has been all reversed in 2~6 weeks and recovered in 2 months after operation. One year person/liver survival rate was 75% . Conclusions The liver transplantation was an effective therapy for the liver failure patients with hepatopulmonary syndrome. The lung function of patients can be reversed and recovered through a comprehensive therapy of lung function.
