Abstract SBP, while ascitic fluid lactoferrin, at a cut-off point of >64.5, had a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 80% for SBP prediction. Conclusion: Both ascitic fluid calprotectin and lactoferrin were significantly elevated in cirrhotic patients with SBP compared to those without SBP. These findings suggest that ascitic fluid calprotectin and lactoferrin can serve as valuable diagnostic tests for screening and diagnosing SBP in patients with liver cirrhosis. Early detection of SBP is crucial for timely intervention and improved patient outcomes. |
