Abstract

Peritonitis signifies inflammation of peritoneum, whose cause is not specific. It can be regarded as local equivalent of systemic inflammatory response which is seen after any trigger of inflammation and referred to as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Peritonitis takes place together with many, complex pathophysiological changes on systemic and cellular level.
