spontaneous bacterial peritonitis , SBP (skrót)

Cirrhotic patients with ascites are at risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Increased risk of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for the prevention of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis: a randomized trial.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (a life-threatening infection of the ascites fluid)

The hearing was told that Mr Gannon, a self-employed window cleaner, died of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Fluid in the abdomen (ascites) may become infected with bacteria normally present in the intestines (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis).

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)

Bacteria and white blood cells, when present in a patient with a history of ascites (usually due to cirrhosis) is highly suggestive of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.

Symptomatic relief may be provided by paracentesis, which may also diagnose spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)

The organism has been associated with bacteremia, meningitis, septic arthritis, enterocolitis, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, post-traumatic brain abscess, and pneumonia.

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, which is the infection of ascites fluid, is the most common precipitant of HRS in cirrhotic individuals.

If there is ascites, diagnostic paracentesis (removal of a fluid sample with a needle) may be required to identify spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP).

All patients with ascites should undergo paracentesis for analysis to verify that portal hypertension is the etiology and to exclude spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) (1079).

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the development of peritonitis (infection in the abdominal cavity) despite the absence of an obvious source for the infection.

Individuals with ascites that has become infected spontaneously (termed spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or SBP) are at an especially high risk for the development of HRS.

"It has been proposed that the reagent strip for leukocyte esterase designed for the testing of urine (Combur test UX) could be a useful tool for diagnosing [spontaneous bacterial peritonitis] SBP."

Another five patients in the possible sepsis group had hypotension with a clinical diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis; however, the lack of positive cultures, or any other evidence of infection, suggest that decompensated liver disease may have played a significant role in their hypotension.

As infection (specifically spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) and gastrointestinal hemorrhage are both complications in individuals with cirrhosis, and are common triggers for HRS, specific care is made in early identification and treatment of cirrhotics with these complications to prevent HRS.
