Association Between Proton Pump Inhibitor Use and Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Cirrhotic Patients with Ascites

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 28, Issue 6, Page 330-334, 2014., 2014
BACKGROUND: There are data suggesting a link between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and the development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in cirrhotic patients with ascites; however, these data are controversial. OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the use of PPIs in cirrhotic patients with ascites is associated with an increased risk for SBP ...

Should Albumin Be Used in All Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis?

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 25, Issue 7, Page 373-376, 2011., 2011
Patients with cirrhosis who develop spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) have been reported to experience a high incidence of renal impairment and mortality. Renal dysfunction is possibly related to altered systemic hemodynamics that leads to decreased effective arterial blood volume.

Risk Factors and Complications Following Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy: A Case Series of 1041 Patients

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 25, Issue 4, Page 201-206, 2011., 2011
BACKGROUND: Most studies exclude patients with severe coagulation disorders or those taking anticoagulants when evaluating the outcomes of percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG). OBJECTIVE: To investigate complications and risk factors of PEG in a large clinical series including patients undergoing antiplatelet and anticoagulant therapy.

The Role of Ascitic Fluid Viscosity in the Differential Diagnosis of Ascites

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 24, Issue 4, Page 255-259, 2010., 2010
BACKGROUND: Ascites is defined as the pathological accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity. It is the most common complication of cirrhosis, which is also the most common cause of ascites. Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid to deform under shear stress.

Clinical Presentation and Prevalence of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Patients with Cryptogenic Cirrhosis and Features of Metabolic Syndrome

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Volume 18, Issue 6, Page 381-386, 2004., 2004
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may progress to cirrhosis. The prevalence and clinical relevance that spontaneous bacterial peritonitis may have in complicating ascites due to NASH‐related cirrhosis have yet to be defined. METHODS: Among 611 cases of cirrhosis‐associated ascites, 45 patients with cryptogenic cirrhosis were ...
