Abstrakt

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia is a genetic disease, causing abnormal formations of blood vessels in skin, mucus membranes, lungs, liver, and brain. In the liver, the disease results in shunting of blood, bypassing the capillary bed. Recent studies have shown that the prevalence of liver shunts are more frequent than previously suggested. The patients present with symptoms related to high-output cardiac failure causing dyspnoea and oedema. Liver shunts can be shown using CT-scans and ultrasonography. The only curable treatment is a liver transplant; however, it is the last treatment option, as argued in this review.
