Peritoneal Dialysis

Peritoneum is a thin, semipermeable   membrane that forms the inner lining of abdominal cavity and keeps the stomach, intestines, liver and other organs in place. It has two layers which are continuous with each other. The space between these layers is the peritoneal cavity and is normally filled with small quantities of slippery fluid that helps these layers and organs to slide over each other. This membrane has rich blood supply.
