The role of Albumin in prevention and Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) in patients with Spontaneous Bacterial Peritonitis (SBP) who are at high risk of AKI development has been clearly defined, which decreases the morbidity and mortality. However the conventional dose recommended by the guidelines is usually not tolerated by the Indian population. Investigator propose that the low dose is as beneficial as the standard dose in patients with high risk SBP in the prevention/progression of renal dysfunction in cirrhotic patients with high risk spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. If confirmed, these results could support a significant cost reduction in the management of ascites in cirrhotic patients and decrease the side effects of the volume overload in the patient of the cirrhosis.
