Overview
Prevention
All cirrhotic patients might benefit from antibiotics if:
- Ascitic fluid protein <1.0 g/dL[1]. Patients with fluid protein <15 g/L and either Child-Pugh score of at least 9 or impaired renal function may also benefit.[2]
- Previous SBP[3]
Cirrhotic patients admitted to the hospital should receive antibiotics if:
- They have bleeding esophageal varices[4]
