Prevalence and risk factors for unsuspected spontaneous ascitic fluid infection in cirrhotics undergoing therapeutic paracentesis in an outpatient clinic.
BACKGROUND Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) has been typically described in hospitalized patients. There are little data on ascitic fluid infection in asymptomatic outpatients. The present study was aimed at determining the prevalence and risk factors for asymptomatic ascitic fluid infection among patients with liver cirrhosis attending an outpatient clinic. METHODS Between January 200...

متن کاملStudy on ascitic fluid protein level in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
Complement 3 is an important component of ascitic fluid total protein, which offers local defence against infection of the ascitic fluid. Hepatic synthesis of complement 3 as well as other proteins and their concentrations in ascitic fluid is significantly reduced in patients with advanced cirrhosis. The level of protein in ascitic fluid in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritoni...
