Predicting infection in cirrhosis patients with ascites
Part of Digestive system, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a new scoring system to predict if patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites (fluid in the belly) will develop a serious infection called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. It aims to help doctors identify high-risk patients earlier so they can be monitored more closely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with liver cirrhosis
- You have ascites (fluid buildup in the abdomen)
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 2 weeks
- You are not on preventive treatment for this infection
- You do not have other infections or conditions that could affect the results

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether simple blood tests (platelet count, sodium level, and a new index called ALBI) can help predict a serious infection in the belly fluid (spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) in people with cirrhosis and ascites.
This study looks at patients with cirrhosis who have had a first infection in the belly fluid (called SBP). The goal is to find out how often this infection returns and what factors might predict it coming back.
This trial tests whether removing infected fluid from the belly early helps people with cirrhosis and an infection called SBP. It may reduce the chance of complications and improve recovery.
This study looks at ways to predict a serious infection in the belly fluid (called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) that can happen in people with cirrhosis. It aims to find easy markers to catch this infection early and help guide treatment.
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 whether adding a probiotic to standard antibiotics helps treat an infection in the abdominal fluid of people with cirrhosis (called spontaneous bacterial peritonitis) and prevents it from coming back.
