The<unk>  <unk>  is an uncommon complication of liver disease in lungs. Occasionally because of the liver dysfunction, blood vessels in the lungs dilate and as a result lungs may lose their ability to effectively exchange oxygen during inspiration.<unk>  occurs in around 5-32% of patients with cirrhosis. Although<unk>  is more prevalent in patients with long standing chronic liver disease such as alcoholic liver disease or hepatitis C, it might also present in acute liver disease or in early stages of chronic liver disease.<unk>  is usually present with severe shortness of breath and decreased blood oxygen levels. Oxygen supplementation is usually needed to manage these symptoms. Liver transplant is the only known approved cure for<unk> . Although patients with<unk>  have a poor prognosis without transplantation, in patients who undergo the liver transplantation, in approximately one year lung functions become normal.
