Predicting infection in patients with cirrhosis and ascites
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old
- You have been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis
- You have fluid buildup in your belly (ascites)
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past two weeks
- You are not currently on preventive treatment for SBP
- You do not have other infections, certain medical conditions, or recent blood or platelet transfusions

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 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 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.
This trial tests whether a lower dose of albumin works as well as the standard dose for people with cirrhosis and a type of infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). It aims to see if the low dose can protect kidney function while reducing side effects and costs.
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.
