Abstract
The article presents a clinical case of very severe portopulmonary hypertension in a patient with Child-Pugh class C and MELD 19 liver cirrhosis as the outcome of chronic viral hepatitis B. It has been shown that antiviral therapy and treatment of pulmonary hypertension led to the stabilization of the condition and even a slight decrease in pulmonary hypertension, and improvement of liver functional parameters.
