Podcast 676: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis
Manage episode 295691225 series 2942787
Contributor: Sam Killian, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Patients with cirrhosis and ascites are frequently evaluated for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, an infection of the ascites fluid that is not from a surgically treated source
- Fever, abdominal pain, and altered mental status should all raise clinical suspicion in a patient with ascites
- Fluid from paracentesis may show increased WBCS (polys and neutrophils), high LDH, high amylase, and decreased glucose
- Outcomes are very poor in these patients with 30-40% of these patients continue to renal failure with 60-80% in-hospital mortality
- Typically treat with a third generation cephalosporin or ampicillin+gentamicin
