Overview

Common risk factors for peritonitis in the development of peritonitis include liver disease, dialysis, and abdominal trauma.

Risk Factors

Biochemical risk factors

Well-established risk factors for developing an initial episode of SBP are :

  • Low ascitic fluid protein level (<1 g/dL)
  • Elevated serum bilirubin level (>4 mg/dL)
  • Advanced Cirrhosis
  • Low levels of 25-hydroxy vitamin D
  • Serum albumin level <2.85 g/dL

Clinical risk factors

  • Patients with Vatical hemorrhage and GI bleeding associated with Cirrhosis are more prone to develop SBP irrespective of the presence of ascites.

Genetic risk factors

  • The Toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2) proteins[1] variants of the NOD2 (nucleotide-binding oligomerisation domain containing gene and Farnesoid X were known to cause SBP.

Pharmacological risk factors

  • Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) has been associated with a three-fold increase in the risk and identified as an independent risk factor for SBP in patients with advanced cirrhosis.
  • Beta-adrenergic antagonists namely nonselective beta-blocker (NSBB) therapy was found to be protective for SBP.

Risk factors for development of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and subsequent mortality in cirrhotic patients with ascites.[2]

  • Low serum sodium levels
  • Child-Pugh stage C
  • Elevated ascites PMN counts (≥100 cells/μl)
  • MELD≥22
  • Elevated CRP levels

Common risk factors for peritonitis are described as follows:[3]

Primary Peritonitis Secondary Peritonitis Tertiary Peritonitis
  • Cirrhosis with ascitis
  • Portal hypertension with ascitis
  • Patient with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD)
  • Ruptured gastric ulcer, appendicular abscess or diverticular abscess
  • Inflamatory bowel diseases such as chron's disease or ulcerative colitis with toxic megacolon
  • Pelvic inflamatory disease
  • Recent surgical procedures
  • Recent trauma to the abdomen (e.g. Stab injury or gun shot injury)
  • Previous history of severe antibiotic use
  • Treatment failure in patients with primary or secondary peritonitis
