Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
(
SBP
) and varices bleeding are the most dangerous complications of liver cirrhosis. Symptoms of
SBP
are often nonspecific.
SBP
is diagnosed in the presence of more than 250 granulocytes/ml ascites and/or positive ascites cultures. Antibiotic prophylactic therapy is indicated after the first episode of
SBP
or primarily if ascites proteins is low (< 10 g/l). The varices bleeding should by treated endoscopically. In case of bleeding portal venous pressure can be lowered by infusion of
somatostatin
or vasopressin long-active analogues. In long-term therapy of portal hypertension non-selective betablockers or nitrates are effective.
