The aim of this work was to study of the levels of nitric oxide in serum and ascetic fluid in cirrhotic patients with or without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis. This study was conducted on 5o patients of liver cirrhosis admitted to Tropical Medicine Department in Menoufia University faculty of medicine and they were classified into three groups: Group (I): composed of 25 cirrhotic patients with ascites and spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Group (II): composed of 25 cirrhotic patients with ascites and without spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP). Group (III): composed of 20 healthy persons as control group. These results summarized that: - There was no statistical significant difference between the three studied groups regarding to age. Also, there was no statistical significant difference between the three studied groups regarding to sex. - There was no statistical significant difference between the three studied group regarding WBS. Regarding PLT, there was no statistical significant difference between group I and group II, while there was statistical significant difference between group I with group III and group II with group III.
