Overview
Common risk factors in the development of peritonitis include liver disease, dialysis, and abdominal trauma.
Risk Factors
Patients with liver disease are at increased risk. Risk factors for liver disease include alcoholic cirrhosis and other diseases that lead to cirrhosis, such as viral hepatitis (Hepatitis B or C). Spontaneous peritonitis also occurs in patients who are on dialysis for kidney failure.
