Answer 1

Peritonitis is the inflammation of the peritoneum, which is the membrane that lines the abdominal wall and covers the abdominal organs. Spontaneous peritonitis is an infection that occurs as a complication of ascites (a collection of fluid in the peritoneal cavity), which is usually related to liver or kidney failure.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors
Most cases of bacterial peritonitis occur:

When fluid accumulates in the peritoneal cavity (ascites) because of chronic liver disease.
In renal (kidney) failure patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. In these patients, the cause of spontaneous peritonitis is infection that spreads to the peritoneal fluid, usually from a contaminated peritoneal dialysis catheter.

Risk factors for liver disease include alcoholic cirrhosis and other diseases that lead to cirrhosis, such as viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B or C);

I am an alternative medicinal therapist and an ex nurse. Peritonitis is the direct cause of an infection as in an appendicitis bursting. the poison from this spreads across the peritoneum, that's the part that your organs slide up and down on. if this area gets infected the infection spreads to all organs in this area and beyond and you can die
