Mean Platelet Volume is a Promising Diagnostic Marker For Systemic Inflammation in Cirrhotic Patients with Ascitic Fluid Infection2017 •

Mean platelet volume is a useful indicator of systemic inflammation in cirrhotic patients with ascitic fluid infectionAscitic fluid infection (AFI) consists primarily of two variants, namely, culture-negative neutrocytic ascites and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Mean platelet volume (MPV) has begun to be used as a simple and inexpensive indicator of inflammation in some diseases. We aimed to analyse whether platelet size alterations would be useful in predicting AFI in cirrhotic patients. A total of 135 patients with ascites due to cirrhosis and 55 control subjects were enrolled in this study. According to ascitic fluid analysis, 58 patients were considered to have AFI. MPV and inflammatory parameter values were determined for all study participants. The ability of MPV values to predict AFI in cirrhotic patients was analysed using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. A statistically significant increase in MPV levels was observed in cirrhotic patients with AFI compared to cirrhotic patients without AFI and healthy controls (p < 0.001). A statistically significant inc...

Validation of the diagnostic accuracy of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitisBackground Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a significant complication among cirrhotic patients with ascites and is associated with high mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment of SBP are crucial, as they are associated with better outcomes and lower mortality. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) are routine, inexpensive, easily measured markers readily obtained from a complete blood count (CBC). Several studies have addressed the diagnostic role of NLR and MPV in patients with SBP but with different cutoff values, sensitivity, and specificity. Therefore, we conducted this study to validate the clinical utility of NLR and MPV in diagnosing SBP. Methods This study included 332 cirrhotic patients with ascites who were admitted to Sohag University Hospitals in Egypt between April 2020 and April 2022. Of these patients, 117 had SBP, and 215 did not. Both NLR and MPV were measured in all patients, and the ability of NLR and MPV to diagnose S...

Mean Platelet Volume in Cirrhotic Patients with Ascitic Fluid InfectionIntroduction: Ascites is the most prevalent clinical symptom of cirrhosis and hepatic decompensation. Patients with cirrhosis are often more likely to get bacterial infections, particularly ascitic fluid infection, which affects 15-20% of people with ascites and cirrhosis Objective: To determine mean platelet volume in cirrhotic patients with ascitic fluid infection. Material and methods: The current study was descriptive and cross-sectional carried out at the department of Medicine Lady Reading Hospital Peshawar for duration of six months from January 2022 to July 2022. From all the patients, a 10cc blood and 20cc ascitic fluid was obtained under aseptic conditions and was sent immediately to hospital diagnostic laboratory for measurement of MPV from blood and Poly-morphonuclear cells in the ascitic fluid. Data analysis was done by employing SPSS version 17. Results: In the current study, male patients were 129(62%) while female patients were 79(38%). The mean age (±SD) in the curr...

Ascitic Fluid Culture in Cirrhotic Patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis2016 •
OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency and compare the culture yield of bacterial isolation by conventional and blood culture BACTEC bottle techniques in cirrhotic patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional comparative study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Pathology Department, Bannu Medical College, Bannu, KPK, from January 2012 to December 2013. METHODOLOGY Paracentesis of 20 ml of ascitic fluid tapped from cirrhotic patients with SBPwas carried out by a single technologist. The analysis included differential leukocyte count (DLC), while 5 ml each of the fluid was inoculated into conventional culture media and BACTEC blood culture bottle. All the data were analysed on (SPSS) version 16 to determine frequencies with percentages and mean values with standard deviation. Chi-square test was used for comparing the yield of conventional and blood culture bottle methods. P-value was considered significant if < 0.05. RESULTS In 105 cases of ascitic f...
