Popis:	Hepatopulmonary syndrome is a rare lung complication of liver cirrhosis, caused by pulmonary microvascular vasodilation that induces abnormal arterial oxygenation. Typical findings on physical examination are finger clubbing and cyanosis. Dyspnea is a common symptom and is worse in the upright position. Contrast echocardiography is a useful diagnostic test. Currently, the only effective treatment is liver transplantation. We report the case of a woman with cirrhosis who has hepatopulmonary syndrome with finger clubbing, confirmed by contrast echocardiography. The patient is waiting for a liver transplant.
