Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is defined as an ascitic fluid infection without an evident intraabdominal surgically-treatable source

Risk factors —

• The vast majority of patients with SBP have advanced cirrhosis
• . Other risk factors (most of which are associated with cirrhosis) include
• Ascitic fluid total protein concentration less than 1 g/dL (<10 g/L)
• Prior episode of SBP Serum total bilirubin concentration above 2.5 mg/dL
• Variceal hemorrhageVARICEAL BLEEDING Clinical features Diagnosis and Treatment. Read more ... » Possibly malnutrition
• Possibly use of proton pump inhibitors

Acute Peritonitis Diagnosis -

• diagnosis is established by a positive ascitic fluid bacterial culture and an elevated ascitic fluid absolute polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) count (≥ 250 cells/mm3)
• The prevalence of bacterial overgrowth was higher in the patients with a history of SBP (70 versus 20 percent); these patients also exhibited more severe small intestinal motility disturbances.
• bacterial translocation is increased in patients with advanced cirrhosis
