Overview

Common risk factors in the development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis include

Risk Factors

Risk factors include:[1]

  • All cirrhotic patients with ascites
  • Severe liver disease (Cirrhosis)
  • Additional factors which can further increase susceptibility include:
  • Low protein level in ascitic fluid [2]
  • Upper GI bleeding poses a risk of bacteremia and SBP in a cirrhotic patient with rates of infection ranging from 17 to 21%
  • Ischemia- reperfusion of the gut during variceal hemorrhage has also been proposed to interfere with the normal function of the reticuloendothelial system and to increase permeability of the intestinal mucosa.
  • Survivors of a prior episode of SBP are at an increased risk of recurrence with a one-year probability of almost 70%.
  • Minimally invasive procedures such as intravenous and urinary bladder catheterization likely predisposes to bacteremia and SBP in the cirrhotics.
  • Low complement concentration (complement 3) in ascitic fluid [2]
  • Renal failure
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Intestinal bacterial overgrowth [3]
