Síndrome hepatopulmonar em paciente com cirrose por vírus C e SIDA

Abstract: A síndrome hepatopulmonar consiste na tríade de doença hepática, dilatações vasculares intrapulmonares e hipoxemia. Não há relatos de síndrome hepatopulmonar associada com SIDA. Relatamos o caso de uma mulher de 43 anos portadora de SIDA e de cirrose hepática por hepatite C, em uso de cotrimoxazol profilático para pneumocistose e de terapia anti-retroviral, com dispnéia progressiva, cianose, baqueteamento digital, aranhas vasculares e exame do tórax normal. A radiografia do tórax mostrava infiltrado retículo-n… Show more

“…A correlation between HPS and measurements of respiratory flow and pulmonary volumes has not been reported (7). There are reports of decreased diffusion capacity of lung for carbon monoxide, yet this finding is also observed in patients with cirrhosis without evidence of HPS (8, 13). Spirometry could not be obtained in five patients as they could not perform the required maneuvers to secure valid results.…”

“…The IPVD may be associated with an unbalanced production or metabolism of vasoactive substances by the sick liver. Nitric oxide is one of the substances that might be responsible for these changes (3, 7–10). In HPS, the most common respiratory symptom is dyspnea, which may worsen with exercise or when the patient stands up (platypnea), explained by the presence of IPVD predominantly in the middle and lower lung areas (4, 7, 11, 12).…”

“…25 A disfunção pulmonar caracterizada por uma tríade clínica: doença hepática; alteração da troca gasosa pulmonar com elevação do gradiente alvéolo-arterial de oxigênio (AaO2) com ou sem hipoxemia; e dilatações vasculares intrapulmonares leva a suspeita da síndrome hepato-pulmonar. 26 Não há terapia efetiva para esta síndrome, suplementação de oxigênio e suporte clínico são utilizados até que o paciente consiga um transplante de fígado. Tem um prognóstico muito ruim.…”
