Overview
Screening
- Leukocyte esterase strip calibrated to an ascitic fluid neutrophil count 250/microl is an effective screening tool when the strip turns to any hue of brown at 3 min. [1]
- Fecal calprotectin is a useful screening parameter for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in cirrhosis. It is helpful in grading the severity of hepatic encephalopathy.[2][3][4]
- A new Prescreen strip, is highly effective and cost-saving procedure for the exclusion of SBP in cirrhotic outpatients (due to its excellent NPV) without the need to perform standard ascitic cytology.
- In outpatients, the performance of this strip was optimal with a sensitivity- 100% and negative predictive value-100%.
- Periscreen strip is considered to be a good screening test in outpatients as it identified all patients with SBP.
- Further studies are needed to better understand pre-analytical conditions leading to the failure to recognize SBP among inpatients.[5]
- The diagnostic accuracy of leucocyte esterase reagent strips read out by a photospectrometer was comparable with the gold standard test and was excellent for excluding SBP. Our results support implementation of reagent strips in the diagnostic work-up of ascitic fluid.The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the reagent strip according to the photospectrometer were 100%, 93%, 55% and 100% respectively, and 75%, 99%, 82% and 98%, respectively, for visual interpretation.[6]
