Abstract
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis is a common complication of liver cirrhosis, and once it occurs, the disease might progress quickly to liver failure and multiple organ failure, which has a high mortality rate. It has been documented that delayed diagnosis of peritonitis is an important factor for high mortality rate, but there is still no sensitive, rapid, and accurate method for early diagnosis of this disease in clinical practice. Therefore, how to make an early diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis remains a research hotspot at present. This article introduces the pathogenesis, risk factors, and methods for early diagnosis of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis in patients with liver cirrhosis, so as to improve the awareness of this disease in clinical practice.
