Poca et al 5 demonstrated that albumin therapy increased survival of patients with high-risk SBP episodes, but it does not seem to be necessary for patients at low risk for death. As such, AASLD clinical guidelines suggest that albumin should be administered to patients with SBP who are at high risk for mortality, i.e.…”
