概要	The patient was a 23-year-old man who was diagnosed with severe hypoxemia and liver dysfunction after suffering from sudden difficulty breathing. At 2 years of age, he had been diagnosed with hypopituitarism, and had received hormone-replacement until he was 18 years of age. Echocardiography using micro bubbles and pulmonary scintigraphy indicated intrapulmonary shunt and a liver biopsy showed steatohepatitis. He was diagnosed with hepatopulmonary syndrome associated with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. Hormone-replacement therapy was re-started. After 5 months, a second liver biopsy revealed the amelioration of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which improved his respiratory condition. This case suggested that early effective therapy for chronic liver diseases might improve the pathological and clinical conditions of hepatopulmonary syndrome.
