Total ascitic fluid leukocyte count for reliable exclusion of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with ascites.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is one of the potentially life-threatening complications in ascitic cirrhotic patients with a mortality rate ranging between 30 and 50%. The improved survival might be explained by a more rapid diagnosis and treatment. The aim of our study was to assess the utility of t...
