Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis
(
SBP
) is the development of a
bacterial infection
in the
peritoneum
causing
peritonitis
, despite the absence of an obvious source for the infection. It occurs almost exclusively in people with
portal hypertension
(increased pressure over the
portal vein
), usually as a result of
cirrhosis
of the
liver
. It can also occur in patients with
nephrotic syndrome
.
