چکیده
conclusions the use of leukocyte esterase urine dipstick test can be a quick and easy method in early diagnosis of sbp to start the treatment until preparation of sbp-cell count results. results in this study, 100 patients with ascites due to cirrhosis, with an average age of 38.9 ± 6.54 years were evaluated. twenty cases had positive results, of whom 17 cases were also detected based on the standard diagnostic criteria and other three cases were healthy individuals. thus, sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and accuracy of the method were 95%, 96.3%, 85%, 97.5% and 95%, respectively. objectives this study aimed to evaluate sensitivity and specificity of leukocyte esterase test strip in the diagnosis of sbp. patients and methods the population of this research was all patients with cirrhosis and ascites admitted to the emergency room at imam reza (as) hospital, mashhad. a written consent was taken for inclusion in the study. 50 ml ascites sample was taken from all patients for use in a urine test strip (ler) (urine test strips convergys®urine matrix 11). the patient’s ascites samples were evaluated for cell counting. positive dipstick test for ler in this study considered as grade 3 +. the values of wbc > 500 cell/mm3 or pmn > 250 cell/mm3 considered as positive result of the gold standard method for the diagnosis of sbp. background spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (sbp) is a common and important clinical problem and is life-threatening in decompensated liver disease. ascites fluid test by leukocyte esterase test strip has been recently proposed as an effective and rapid method to diagnose sbp in patients with cirrhosis.
