Treatment of hepatic hydrothorax with terlipressin in a cirrhotic patient
Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2006 Hepatic hydrothorax is a complication of cirrhosis that is uncommon and difficult to treat. Diuretic therapy, thoracentesis, transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt and liver transplantation are the main therapeutic options. Here, we report on a 47-

A 67-year-old man was admitted with a 1-week history of shortness of breath. He was a heavy smoker with alcohol consumption exceeding 40 units per week. On examination he was apyrexial and had signs of a right-sided pleural effusion. His liver was enlarged 3 cm below the costal margin. There was no ascites or splenomegaly.

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 1998
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.

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.

Hepatic hydrothorax (HH) is an uncommon manifestation of cirrhosis with ascites. Pleural effusions form when ascitic fluid moves through diaphragmatic defects that have been opened by increased peritoneal pressure. The diagnosis is established clinically by finding a serous transudate and is confirmed by radionuclide imaging demonstrating communication

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 ...

Management of ascites with hydrothorax
The American Journal of Surgery, 1984Hydrothorax occurs in 5.3 percent of ascitic patients. Our experience with 22 cases forms the basis of this report. Of the 22 cases, 21 were spontaneous and 1 was due to transdiaphragmatic incision. Eighteen occurred on the right side. Usually fluid enters the chest through tiny defects in the diaphragm.

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 ...

SummaryPatients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension often have abnormal extracellular fluid volume regulation, resulting in accumulation of fluid as ascites, oedema or pleural effusion. These complications carry a poor prognosis with nearly half of the patients with ascites dying in the ensuing 2–3 years. In contrast to what happens in the abdominal

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.
