peritoneal dialysis

Method of artificial detoxication in which a toxic substance from the body is transferred into liquid that is instilled into the peritoneum.

Note: Effectively this represents the employment of the peritoneum surrounding the abdominal cavity as a dialysing membrane for the purpose of removing waste products or toxins accumulated as a result of renal failure.
