The limitation of this study is the relatively small number of patients in Group 2. Further studies will determine the deserved place of hsCRP in the diagnosis and follow-up of SBP. We conclude that elevated hsCRP levels may help early diagnosis of SBP in the subgroup of patients with nonneutrocytic ascites before the culture results are available. Also it may be used to assess the response to antibacterial treatment.tic significance of bacterascites in cirrhosis with ascites. Dig Dis Sci 1995; 40:561-565.
