Prediction of SBP in Cirrhotic Patients by Platlet Count, Na and AlBl Index.
Sponsor: Sohag University
Summary
This study aims to evaluate whether integrating serum sodium levels and platelet count with the Albumin-Bilirubin (ALBI) score can improve the early prediction of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in cirrhotic patients with ascites. SBP is a common and potentially life-threatening complication of cirrhosis. Identifying at-risk patients early using simple, routine laboratory parameters could enhance risk stratification, guide monitoring strategies, and reduce associated morbidity and mortality. Participants will be Adult patients (≥18 years) with liver cirrhosis and ascites undergoing diagnostic paracentesis at Sohag University Hospital.
