Assessment of Ascitic Fluid Calprotectin role as a Marker for Diagnosis and follow up treatment of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Yahia Zakaria Zaki Mehrez;
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Background: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a potentially fatal condition, characterized by infection of ascitic fluid in absence of any intra-abdominal surgically treatable source of infection. It is the most common infectious complication of cirrhotic patients. SBP is a condition that requires a high index of suspicion, rapid and accurate diagnosis in addition to prompt and effective therapy. It is also characterized by a high recurrence rate within one year of the 1st episode.
Objective: The goal of the present study was to assess the role of ascitic fluid calprotectin in diagnosis of SBP.
