Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

SPONTANEOUS BACTERIAL PERITONITIS

Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1992
SBP is an infection of ascites that occurs in the absence of a local infectious source. It is mainly a complication of cirrhotic ascites, with a prevalence of 15% to 19% (when culture-negative cases are included). Gram-negative enteric bacteria are the causative agents in more than 70% of cases.

[Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis]

Medizinische Klinik, Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin, 2012
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is the most frequent infection in patients with cirrhosis during hospitalization and is associated with high acute and long-term mortality. Diagnosis is made by paracentesis with determination of neutrophil count in ascitic fluid. Empirical antibiotic therapy must be initiated immediately.

Moraxella Peritonitis in a Non-Peritoneal Dialysis Patient

Journal of Scientific Innovation in Medicine, 2021
Background: Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis is a serious complication of ascites in patients with liver cirrhosis. Most commonly, the cause is monomicrobial, the usual suspects being E. Coli, K. pneumoniae, and sometimes, S. pneumoniae.

Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis [PDF]

Digestive Diseases, 2005
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a bacterial infection of ascitic fluid in patients with decompensated cirrhosis. The modifier ‘spontaneous’ distinguishes this from surgical peritonitis. The infecting organisms are usually enteric gram-negatives which have translocated from the bowel.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Bacterial infections in patients with liver cirrhosis and ascites [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2014
Introduction. Bacterial infections are common complications and the cause of death in patients with cirrhosis and ascites. There is no standard method for a rapid and low-cost diagnosis, and its prognosis is poor. Objective.

The relationship between gut microbiota and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with liver cirrhosis - a literature review [PDF]

, 2019
Gut microbiota is an essential component in the pathogenesis of liver cirrhosis and its complications. There is a direct relationship between the gut and the liver called the gutliver axis through which bacteria can reach the liver through the portal ...

Hemodynamic Evaluation of Nonselective \u3b2-Blockers in Patients with Cirrhosis and Refractory Ascites [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND:Nonselective \u3b2-blockers (NSBB) have been associated with increased incidence of paracentesis-induced circulatory dysfunction (PICD) and reduced survival in patients with cirrhosis and refractory ascites.
