Wilson's disease in patients presenting with liver disease: a diagnostic challenge.

abstract：BACKGROUND & AIMS:We have reported that contrast echocardiography is a sensitive screening test for the hepatopulmonary syndrome (HPS). However, contrast echocardiography lacks specificity because many cirrhotic patients have positive study results with normal arterial blood gases and therefore do not fulfill criteria ...
