My answer:
Peritonitis is inflammation of the peritoneum, the thin layer of tissue covering the inside of your abdomen and most of its organs. This is the moist tissue around the inside of the stomach wall. The inflammation is usually the result of a fungal or bacterial infection. An abdominal injury or an underlying medical condition is a few of the ways someone could get peritonitis. It is a serious condition that needs immediate medical attention. Some signs and symptoms of peritonitis include, abdominal pain or tenderness, bloating or a feeling of fullness (distention) in your abdomen, fever, nausea, vomiting and thirst. Antibiotics recommended in this setting include moxifloxacin, a combination of metronidazole with either levofloxacin or an oral cephalosporin, or amoxicillin-clavulanate.
Peritonitis is a major complication of peritoneal dialysis , the reason being is because of the structural changes in the peritoneal membrane that result from peritoneal dialysis. Peritoneal dialysis is a type of dialysis which uses the peritoneum in a person's abdomen as the membrane through which fluid and dissolved substances are exchanged with the blood. It is used to remove excess fluid, correct electrolyte problems, and remove toxins in people experiencing kidney failure.. If you're receiving peritoneal dialysis therapy, you can help prevent peritonitis by following good hygiene before, during and after dialysis.
