Early fluid removal for infected belly fluid in cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether draining infected belly fluid early can help people with cirrhosis and a type of infection called SBP (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis). If you have cirrhosis and your belly fluid is infected, this study may show if early drainage improves recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have infected fluid in your belly (called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis or SBP)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at whether simple blood tests (platelet count, sodium, and a liver score) can predict a serious infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in people with cirrhosis and fluid buildup in the belly (ascites). If successful, it could help doctors catch this infection earlier.
This study looks for signs that predict a bacterial infection in the belly fluid of people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to catch infection early and improve treatment for patients with ascites.
This study tests a new way to detect bacteria in the fluid in your belly (ascites) to see if it can quickly diagnose a serious infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in people with cirrhosis. If you have cirrhosis and ascites, this trial may help improve how fast infections are found.
This study tests a new scoring system to predict a serious infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in people with liver cirrhosis and fluid buildup in the belly (ascites). It aims to help catch the infection early so treatment can start sooner.
This study looks at why some patients with cirrhosis get a serious stomach infection called SBP more than once. It may help doctors predict and prevent repeat infections.
This study tests whether taking norfloxacin plus itopride helps prevent another episode of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (a serious belly infection) in people with cirrhosis and fluid buildup in the abdomen. It compares that combo to norfloxacin alone to see which approach better lowers repeat infections.
