متن کاملPredictive factors that influence the survival rates in liver cirrhosis patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
BACKGROUND/AIMS Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) has been known to greatly influence the survival rate of patients with liver cirrhosis. However, the factors that affect the survival rate in patients with SBP need to be clarified. METHODS This study enrolled 95 liver cirrhosis patients diagnosed with SBP. The laboratory findings of their serum and ascitic fluid were examined and the ch...

It is a bacterial infection of ascitic fluid in the absence of an adjacent, surgically amenable infection source. Since its description in 1964 (1) numerous studies, guidelines, and both national and international consensus conferences have brought significant advancement to the dia...

Since its initial description in 1964, research has transformed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) from a feared disease (with reported mortality of 90%) to a treatable complication of decompensated cirrhosis, albeit with steady prevalence and a high recurrence rate. Bacterial translocation, the key mechanism in the pathogenesis of SBP, is only possible because of the concurrent failure of...

at 20% to 40%.4,5 If the patient survives that hospitalization, one-year and two-year mortality rates for those with SBP are approximately 70% and 80%, respectively.3,6–10 Further adding to the inherent morbidity of SBP is its proclivity for recurrence. After an episode of SBP has been successfully cleared with antibiotic therapy, recurrence rates range from 40% to 70% within the first year.3,6...
