Ascitic Fluid Calprotectin and Serum C-Reactive Protein as Diagnostic Markers for Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis [PDF]

Afro-Egyptian Journal of Infectious and Endemic Diseases, 2014
Background and study aim: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cirrhotic patients with ascites. The diagnosis of SBP is based on PMN leukocyte cell count exceeding 250/μL in ascitic fluid.

Diagnostic and prognostic performance of urinary neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin in patients with cirrhosis and acute kidney injury

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
Diagnostic and prognostic ability of urinary NGAL in patients with cirrhosis and AKI. Abstract Background and Aims Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. Urinary neutrophil gelatinase–associated lipocalin (uNGAL) could help discriminate between different etiologies of AKI.
