Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of C Reactive Protein (CRP) in diagnosing spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in patients with decompensated chronic liver disease. Study Design: Cross Sectional study. Setting: Department of Medicine Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Hospital Rawalakot Azad Kashmir. Period:  Feb 2018 to Dec 2018. Material & Methods: One hundred subjects with decompensated liver disease were recruited in this study after fulfilling inclusion criteria. The patients’ medical record number, age and gender was recorded upon admission. Baseline investigations including complete blood count, urine examination and chest X ray were done. Abdominal ultrasound was performed for detecting the presence of ascitic fluid. SBP was diagnosed if > 250 mm3 neutrophils are detected in the ascitic fluid. Serum CRP was detected and reported in mg/L. Results: SBP was detected in 32.8% of the patients having decompensated chronic liver disease. CRP levels were > 29.5mg/L in 36% of the patients while in 64% patients the CRP levels were < 29.5mg/L. The sensitivity of CRP for the diagnosis of SBP was calculated as 83.61% while the specificity was calculated as 87.2%. A positive predictive value was estimated as 76.12% and a negative predictive value was 91.59% while the diagnostic accuracy was calculated as 86.02% from the given data. Conclusion: CRP is a reliable diagnostic biomarker for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in subjects having complications of chronic liver disease.

Background: About half the patients with cirrhosis develop ascites during 10 years of observation. The present study was designed to study the relation between spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and serum ascites albumin gradient in chronic liver disease patients.Methods: This prospective observational study was done in 55 patients with chronic liver disease attending IPD of tertiary hospital. Based on investigation findings, patients were divided into two groups: Group A-Patients with sterile cirrhotic ascites, Group B- Patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. Detailed history, examination and relevant investigation were done. Data was collected, recorded and statistical calculation was done using in Microsoft excel 2007.Results: Most common presenting symptoms of SBP patients were increasing ascites refractory to treatment (90%), followed by peripheral edema (80%). Jaundice and hepatic encephalopathy was found in 75% and 65% respectively. Serum and ascites albumin levels were lower in Group B (2.54±0.33 and 0.43±0.23 g/dl respectively) as compared to Group A (2.85±0.36 and 0.91±0.31 g/dl respectively) and it was statistically significant. The Mean±SD of SAAG for group A and group B was (1.94±0.36) and (2.09±0.47 g/dl) respectively. This difference was statistically not significant.Conclusions:Study conclude that the development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in chronic liver disease patients with sterile ascites is directly proportional to ascitic fluid albumin and serum albumin concentration whereas occurrence of SBP is not affected by variation in SAAG ratio if it is already higher than 1.1 g/dl.

Abstract Background Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a serious complication in cirrhotic patients with ascites. Without early antibiotic treatment, this complication is associated with a 30-50% mortality rate. Recently we have evaluated the validity and utility of ascitic fluid triggering receptors expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) levels for the diagnosis of SBP. Patients and Methods This was a Prospective case control study conducted on 60 patients with chronic liver disease and ascites divided into two group, group 1 (control) 30 patients without SBP and group 2 (SBP) 30 patients, admitted to the Tropical Medicine Department with ascites due to chronic liver disease. All patients were subjected to full history taking and clinical examination full laboratory investigations including complete blood picture liver and renal profiles, C reactive protein, viral markers, abdominal ultrasound, UGI endoscopy and ascitic fluid sampling for biochemical testing, total and differential cell count, microbiological culture and TREM-1 level. Results There was high statistical significant difference between the two groups in the base level of TREM-1 in which the mean was 1280 pg/ml (1136.9) with level range between (580---4500pg/ml) in SBP versus mean 129.9 pg/ml (51.9) with level range between (60-250pg/ml) in the control group. Also there was a statistical significant difference in the level of TREM-1 before and after treatment in the SBP patients in which the mean of TREM-1 before treatment was 1280.6 pg/ml (1136.9) with level range between (580-4500pg/ml) versus mean 376.2 pg/ml (78.4) and level range between (260-560 pg/ml) after the treatment. Conclusion our data indicate that the measurement of ascitic fluid TREM-1 is rapid, easy and valid test in the diagnosis and follow up of chronic liver disease patients with SBP.
