Causes


Common Causes

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:

Less Common Causes

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.

Genetic Causes

  • 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:
