The Role of Serum Procalcitonin Levels in Predicting Ascitic Fluid Infection in Hospitalized Cirrhotic and Non-cirrhotic Patients
OBJECTIVE To determine the role of serum procalcitonin levels in predicting ascites infection in hospitalized cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic patients. METHODS A total of 101 patients (mean age: 63.4 ± 1.3, 66.3% were males) hospitalized due to cirrhosis (n=88) or malignancy related (n=13) ascites were included in this study. Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP, 19.8%), culture-negative SBP (3...
متن کاملMean platelet volume: a useful predictor of ascitic fluid infection in cirrhotic patients?
We read with great interest the article ‘Mean Platelet Volume is a useful indicator of systemic inflammation in cirrhotic patients with ascitic fluid infection’ by Suvak, et al.1 The authors concluded that MPV is increased in cirrhotic patients with ascitic fluid infection (AFI) and MPV may be a predictive test in predicting AFI. We would like to thank the authors for their valuable contributio...

متن کاملMean platelet volume is a useful indicator of systemic inflammation in cirrhotic patients with ascitic fluid infection.
AIM Ascitic fluid infection (AFI) consists primarily of two variants, namely, culture-negative neutrocytic ascites and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Mean platelet volume (MPV) has begun to be used as a simple and inexpensive indicator of inflammation in some diseases. We aimed to analyse whether platelet size alterations would be useful in predicting AFI in cirrhotic patients. MATE...
