Overview
There are no established measures for the primary prevention of hepatopulmonary syndrome. Development of hepatopulmonary syndrome neither related to the severity nor to the etiology of liver disease. Although most of the cases develop in chronic liver disease particularly cirrhosis, it could develop in acute liver disease as well.

- Development of hepatopulmonary syndrome neither related to the severity nor to the etiology of liver disease.
- Although most of the cases develop in chronic liver disease particularly cirrhosis, it could develop in acute liver disease as well.[1][2][3][4][5]
