| Core Tip |
In this retrospective study of 179 cirrhotic patients with ascites, we identified key clinical predictors for refractory ascites (RA) and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in a predominantly Hispanic population. Abnormal serum potassium levels independently predicted RA, while gastrointestinal bleeding and thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 50000/µL) were significant predictors of SBP. These findings emphasize the critical role of electrolyte imbalance and coagulopathy in cirrhosis-related complications and highlight the importance of early risk stratification in vulnerable populations with limited healthcare access. |
