Overview
Natural History , Complications and Prognosis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis presents as a complication of ascites which can be due to cirrhosis , heart failure or renal failure. Untreated disease leads to complications and has a poor prognosis.
Complications
Prognosis
Renal dysfunction is an important prognostic indicator followed by the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score. With an increase of MELD score prognosis becomes worse. [1]
