Abstract:
MCP-1 is a powerful Chemotactic Protein present in Inflammatory states and its levels have been increased in several chronic diseases as Cirrhosis. In cirrhosis increased MCP-1 levels in urine have been described as associated with increasing mortality. The rate of mortality from Spontaneous Peritonitis (SP) in cirrhotic patients is still high despite the development of new antibiotic treatments and intensive hospital care. The coexistence of spontaneous fungal Peritonitis (SFP) is almost entirely ignored health problem. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the role of MCP-1 in early diagnosis of Resistant Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis and Spontaneous Fungal Peritonitis.
