Arm Description
albumin administered day 1 (1.5g/kg) and day 3 (1.0g/kg)
Albumin administered per standard care on day 1 (1.5g/kg). Second dose administered on day 2 only to those individuals with renal insufficiency and risk for renal failure (Cr > 1.0 or BUN or Cr > baseline). If albumin not administered at 48 hours, BUN and Cr will be monitored daily for 72 hours and will be administered if Cr > 1.0 or BUN or Cr are above baseline.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Renal Failure
Primary outcome is the presence of renal failure at any point from the start of the study (time 0) through 72 hours
Secondary Outcome Measures
All Cause Mortality

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a common and frequently fatal complication of end-stage liver disease with a mortality of up to 10% primarily due to the development of kidney failure. Current standard practice is to treat this infection with broad spectrum antibiotics and salt-poor albumin administration on day one and three of treatment. In this study the investigators test the hypothesis that the administration of a second dose of albumin at 48 hours only to patients with renal insufficiency is as effective at preventing kidney failure as administering the second dose to all patients at 72 hours. In addition, a kidney function determined approach to albumin dosing may lead to substantial cost and resource saving from decreased albumin use without compromising treatment efficacy.
