Overview
Some emerging tests may provide a significant contribution to the diagnosis and therapeutic management of SBP although current laboratory diagnosis of SBP entail a limited number of conventional investigations, like ascitic fluid PMN count and culture.
Other Diagnostic Studies
Other emerging diagnostic tests used for the diagnosis of SBP include:
- Procalcitonin.
A value < 0.5 ng/ml rules out SBP.Highly sensitive.
- Assessment of Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ( NGAL) in peritoneal fluid.[1][2]
- Amylase.
- C reactive protein.
- Assessment of bacterial DNA in ascitic fluid by nucleic acid amplification.
