FUNCTIONAL AND CLINICAL DISORDERS OF THE LUNG IN PATIENTS WITH CIRRHOSIS AND THEIR DYNAMICS IN OPERATIONS TUNNELING LIVER

Abstract

Aim. To evaluate lung function in patients with liver cirrhosis of the liver with conservative therapy and surgery tunneling liver. Materials and methods. The study involved 55 patients with liver cirrhosis with portal hypertension. Patients were randomized into 2 groups. In the first group (n = 40) patients received medication. Patients of the second group (n = 15) was performed tunneling liver shunt operation. Resalts. In patients with liver cirrhosis observed clinical and functional remodeling of the lung appears shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and restrictive ventilatory disorders. Conclusions. In patients with cirrhosis of the liver after tunneling is observed normalization of lung ventilation. After conservative treatment reliable normalization of lung function occurs.
