Clinical Significance of Ascitic Fluid Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte (PMN) Percentage in Cirrhosis Patients without Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP)

Clinical Significance of Ascitic Fluid Polymorphonuclear Leukocyte (PMN) Percentage in Cirrhosis Patients without Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP)

Absolute PMN count (PMN-C) ≥250cells/mm3 in ascites is the diagnostic hallmark of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical significance of ascitic PMN percentage (PMN-%) as well as PMN-C in the absence of SBP as additional bio...

Zusammenfassung:Absolute PMN count (PMN-C) ≥250cells/mm3 in ascites is the diagnostic hallmark of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical significance of ascitic PMN percentage (PMN-%) as well as PMN-C in the absence of SBP as additional biomarkers for mortality and future incidence of SBP has not been determined. This retrospective cohort included adults with cirrhosis undergoing first-recorded paracentesis with initial PMN-C
