Managing life-threatening sepsis with cirrhosis requires timely intervention, multi-specialist support, and precision-guided care. At Curis Life Multi-Specialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert hepatologists specialize in treating cirrhotic sepsis, hepatic sepsis, and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)—helping patients and families through some of the most critical stages of advanced liver disease complications.

We offer integrated care for infection in cirrhotic patients, combining early sepsis screening, SIRS management, SBP protocols, and ICU coordination to ensure the best possible outcomes.

What is Sepsis in Cirrhosis?

Septic complications in liver cirrhosis, also called cirrhosis-related sepsis or liver cirrhosis with sepsis, occur when the body’s immune response to infection becomes overwhelming, leading to organ dysfunction. Cirrhotic patients are especially vulnerable due to immune dysfunction in liver disease, poor clearance of bacteria, and increased risk of bacterial infections like SBP or pneumonia.

Infections can rapidly trigger systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF), or multiorgan failure, making early detection and expert care critical.

Symptoms

• Fever or hypothermia
• Rapid breathing or heartbeat
• Low blood pressure
• Mental confusion or drowsiness
• Decreased urine output
• Abdominal pain or swelling due to ascitic fluid infection
• Yellowing of skin or eyes (jaundice)
• Gastrointestinal bleeding

Causes & Risk Factors for Cirrhotic Sepsis

• Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP)
• Pneumonia or urinary tract infections
• Catheter-related nosocomial infections
• Blood culture positive bacterial entry
• Gastrointestinal tract infections or endotoxemia
• Poorly controlled portal hypertension

Diagnostic Tests for Sepsis with Cirrhosis

At Curis Life, Andheri West, we conduct advanced investigations to confirm and assess the severity of sepsis in cirrhotic patients, including:

• Sepsis screening blood tests (including lactate levels)
• Ascitic fluid analysis
• Inflammatory markers like CRP and procalcitonin
• Complete blood count, LFT, and renal parameters
• Imaging (USG/CT scan) to locate infections
• Blood and urine cultures

How We Manage Cirrhotic Sepsis at Curis Life

Our evidence-based sepsis management protocols include:

• Early and broad-spectrum antibiotics in cirrhosis
• Supportive fluid therapy and vasopressors (if needed)
• Albumin infusion (in SBP or hepatorenal syndrome)

• Referral to Hepatology ICU care if required
• Consultation with a liver transplant evaluation team in severe or recurrent cases
