URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS IN PATIENTS WITH LIVER CIRRHOSIS
https://doi.org/10.51523/2708-6011.2012-9-1-9
Abstract
Patients with liver cirrhosis are predisposed to develop infections due to the decrease of immune response combined with bacterial translocation. 40 % patients with liver cirrhosis diagnose a high level of bacterial content in urine with uroisolators being dominant causative agents of urine system infections, which makes it possible to assume the presence of pathologic bacteriuria in them. The peculiar feature of urine infection in the patients with liver cirrhosis is an oligosymptomatic clinical picture, which needs an object-oriented search of the infection and timely prescription of treatment. The program of the treatment for urine infections in the patients with liver cirrhosis should include measures to restore the microbiota of bowels.
