What are the Effects of Toxins on the Peritoneal Cavity?
Exposure to toxins can lead to various pathological conditions within the peritoneal cavity: - Peritonitis: Inflammation of the peritoneum often results from bacterial toxins or chemical irritants, leading to severe abdominal pain and systemic infection. - Ascites: Accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity can occur due to liver toxins affecting hepatic function. - Organ Damage: Toxins can directly damage organs within the peritoneal cavity, leading to compromised function and systemic effects.
