Platelet Indices Could Predict Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis in Cirrhotic Ascitic Patients

• Conditions: Cirrhosis, Liver
• Interventions: Diagnostic Test: Platelet indices

• Lead Sponsor: Tanta University

Brief Summary

Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is an ascitic fluid infection in cirrhotic patients

Detailed Description

Platelet indices can be utilized as a non-invasive predictor of SBP.
