Peritoneal sclerosis occurred in two patients treated by continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) using only lactate-buffered dialysate. Both patients had recurrent peritonitis and the second patient had multiple, minor abdominal operations. Patients receiving lactate-buffered CAPD are not immune from peritoneal sclerosis. Recurrent peritonitis and repeated abdominal surgery might be important causative factors.

D010537 Peritoneum A membrane of squamous EPITHELIAL CELLS, the mesothelial cells, covered by apical MICROVILLI that allow rapid absorption of fluid and particles in the PERITONEAL CAVITY. The peritoneum is divided into parietal and visceral components. The parietal peritoneum covers the inside of the ABDOMINAL WALL. The visceral peritoneum covers the intraperitoneal organs. The double-layered peritoneum forms the MESENTERY that suspends these organs from the abdominal wall.

D010538 Peritonitis INFLAMMATION of the PERITONEUM lining the ABDOMINAL CAVITY as the result of infectious, autoimmune, or chemical processes. Primary peritonitis is due to infection of the PERITONEAL CAVITY via hematogenous or lymphatic spread and without intra-abdominal source. Secondary peritonitis arises from the ABDOMINAL CAVITY itself through RUPTURE or ABSCESS of intra-abdominal organs.
