Abnormal hyperventilation in patients with hepatic cirrhosis: Role of enhanced chemosensitivity to carbon dioxide

Abstract Background Patients with hepatic cirrhosis frequently show idiopathic hyperventilation at rest, despite no concomitant cardiopulmonary disease. The aim of the study was to determine whether altered chemosensitivity either to hypoxia or hypercapnia could underlie inappropriate hyperventilati...
