Treatment and Management of Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis

The treatment for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis depends on whether it is monomicrobial or polymicrobial. Monomicrobial infections require targeted antibiotic therapy for 5 to 7 days. Additionally, albumin therapy has demonstrated mortality benefits and reduced hepato-renal syndrome. Discontinuing beta blockers is crucial to improve organ perfusion in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and prevent the development of hepato-renal syndrome.
