Abstract
A 56-year-old male patient suffering from multiple conditions of decompensated chronic liver disease, alcohol-related cirrhosis of liver stage of CHILD-B, model for end-stage liver disease-11, and portal hypertension and admitted for liver transplantation in a specialty hospital was reported in this study. Previously, the patient was hospitalized for several times for hepatic encephalopathy. Preoperative evaluation was done by a pulmonologist for cardiorespiratory fitness. The patient was examined with high-resolution computed tomography chest and the functional capacity evaluation by 6-min walk test. The reports showed that the patient is not fit for surgery due to interstitial lung disorder, significant desaturation, noticeable dyspnea, and limited functional walk capacity, and hence, he was referred for cardiorespiratory fitness to the unit of pulmonary rehabilitation program for 12 weeks.
