Hepatopulmonary syndrome

Diagnosis

These tests can help determine if you have hepatopulmonary syndrome:

  • Pulse oximetry. In pulse oximetry, a sensor attached to your finger or ear uses light to determine how much oxygen is in your blood.
  • Chest imaging. X-rays, computerized tomography (CT) scanning or echocardiogram imaging can help rule out other heart or lungs conditions.
