Overview

Common risk factors in cirrhotic patients with ascites include: low protein level in ascitic fluid (<1 g/dL), upper GI bleeding, low complement concentration (complement 3) in ascitic fluid, renal failure, elevated serum bilirubin level (>4 mg/dL), use of proton pump inhibitors (PPI) in cirrhotic patients have an increased risk, Child-Pugh stage C, MELD≥22.

Risk Factors

Risk factors include:[1]

  • All cirrhotic patients with ascites
  • Severe liver disease (Cirrhosis)[2]
  • Low protein level in ascitic fluid [3]
  • 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 [3][2]
  • Renal failure
  • Urinary tract infections
  • Intestinal bacterial overgrowth [4]
  • The use of non-selective beta blockers in cirrhotic patients with SBP should be discouraged since it is associated with an increased risk for hemodynamic compromise, prolonged hospitalization, hepatorenal syndrome, and acute kidney injury.[5]

Factors contributing to the infection include:

  • GI bleeding
  • Increased colonization of the small bowel with prominent bacterial translocation
  • Decreased opsonic activity in blood and ascitic fluid
  • Impaired Complement
  • Leukocyte dysfunction
  • Reduced Antibodies
  • Increased immunosuppressive cytokines, endotoxin, TNF
Risk Factors for SBP
Biochemical Clinical Genetic Pharmacological

Well-established risk factors for developing an initial episode of SBP are :

Patients with variceal hemorrhage and GI bleeding associated with cirrhosis are more prone to develop SBP irrespective of the presence of ascites.

The Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) proteins variants of the NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain containing gene and Farnesoid X were known to cause SBP.[6][7]

  • Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are associated with a three-fold increase in the risk and identified as an independent risk factor for SBP in patients with advanced cirrhosis. [8]

Risk factors for development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and subsequent mortality in cirrhotic patients with ascites.[9]

  • Low serum sodium levels
  • Child-Pugh stage C
  • Elevated ascites PMN counts (≥100 cells/μl)
  • MELD ≥ 22.[10]
  • Elevated CRP levels
