Hepatic hydrothorax is the accumulation of ascitic fluid in the pleural space and requires the same treatment as ascites: salt restriction, diuretics, and paracentesis. Refractory hydrothorax appears when there is no response to those measures and its management is not well established.

Current Opinion in Internal Medicine, 2003
A hepatic hydrothorax is a pleural effusion that develops in a patient with cirrhosis and portal hypertension in the absence of cardiopulmonary disease. The pleural effusion is derived from ascitic fluid that enters the chest because of the negative pressure within the pleural space via defects in the diaphragm.

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1996
Twelve cases of right hepatic hydrothorax are reported. Tc-99m SC that was injected intraperitoneally and intrapleurally provided evidence of a one-way flow of fluid from the peritoneal to the pleural cavity. Eight patients, whose hydrothorax was refractory to sodium restriction, diuretics and repeated thoracenteses, were treated by endopleural ...

Hepatic hydrothorax occurs in approximately 5 to 12% of patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension. Various therapeutic modalities ranging from dietary and pharmacologic interventions to surgical approaches are available for the management of this condition.

Hepatic hydrothorax in the management of cirrhosis
Gut, 2021We thank Aithal et al 1 for their recent guidelines on the management of ascites in cirrhosis. We lead a pleural service in the North East of England and frequently deal with hepatic hydrothoraces (HH). We believe that the guidelines will be significantly enhanced by mentioning some figures around HH and the management so that clinicians and patients ...

Hepatic and non-hepatic hydrothorax in pediatric ascites
Clinics and Research in Hepatology and Gastroenterology, 2022Hydrothorax in the presence of ascites is a serious condition, but it is not well studied, particularly in pediatrics. We aim to identify risk factors for having hydrothorax, compare morbidity and mortality, and report the prevalence of hepatic hydrothorax and non-hepatic hydrothorax in pediatric patients with diagnosis of ascites and hydrothorax.This ...

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde, 2006
Hepatic hydrothorax was diagnosed in four patients with liver cirrhosis, three men aged 65, 41, and 48 and a woman aged 48. They presented with either right-sided or bilateral pleural-fluid accumulations in the absence of cardiopulmonary disease. In the first man with no concurrent ascites, the disorder was missed, resulting in prolonged chest tube ...

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1991
Significant pleural effusions are infrequently noted in patients with cirrhosis of the liver. A large effusion (hepatic hydrothorax) occasionally appears during the course of the disease. The fluid in the pleural space is believed to be derived from ascitic fluid that may accompany hepatic cirrhosis.

Hepatic Hydrothorax Scintigraphic Confirmation
Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1995The development of a large hydrothorax (usually on the right side) in patients with advanced hepatic cirrhosis and in the absence of clinical ascites is called hepatic hydrothorax. The condition is because of a transdiaphragmatic communication between the peritoneal and pleural cavities through defects in the tendinous portion of the diaphragm.

Management of ascites and hepatic hydrothorax
Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology, 2007The natural course of patients with cirrhosis is frequently complicated by the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal or pleural cavities and interstitial tissue. Functional renal abnormalities that occur as a consequence of decreased effective arterial blood volume are responsible for fluid accumulation in the form of ascites and hepatic hydrothorax.
