Introduction: A common problem of patients with cirrhotic ascites is spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). SBP is a trigger of renal impairment and, if untreated, denotes poor prognosis. Thus, rapid and accurate diagnosis of SBP is pivotal. Diagnosis of SBP is established by >=250 granulocytes/µl in ascitic fluid. Recently, urine reagent strips for leukocyte esterase detection have been proposed as a faster, chea…
