    AbstractPortopulmonary hypertension, ie, pulmonary arterial hypertension in a patient with portal hypertension, affects transplant eligibility and has a poor prognosis. The pathogenesis remains an area of active research, with various mechanisms proposed. Diagnosing it requires a detailed history, physical examination, laboratory tests, and echocardiographic evaluation, followed by a careful hemodynamic assessment.Copyright © 2023 The Cleveland Clinic Foundation.
