Editing Peritonitis (section)

===Non-infection===
* Leakage of [[sterilization (microbiology)|sterile]] body fluids into the peritoneum, such as [[blood]] (e.g., [[endometriosis]], [[blunt abdominal trauma]]), [[gastric juice]] (e.g., peptic ulcer, [[gastric carcinoma]]), [[bile]] (e.g., [[liver biopsy]]), [[urine]] (pelvic trauma), [[menstruum]] (e.g., [[salpingitis]]), [[pancreatic juice]] ([[pancreatitis]]), or even the contents of a ruptured [[dermoid cyst]]. While these [[body fluid]]s are sterile at first, they frequently become infected once they leak out of their organ, leading to infectious peritonitis within 24 to 48 hours.
* Sterile abdominal surgery, under normal circumstances, causes localised or minimal generalised peritonitis, which may leave behind a [[foreign body reaction]] or fibrotic [[adhesion (medicine)|adhesion]]s. However, peritonitis may also be caused by the rare case of a [[sterile technique|sterile]] foreign body inadvertently left in the abdomen after [[surgery]] (e.g., [[gauze]], [[sponge]]).
* Much rarer non-infectious causes may include [[familial Mediterranean fever]], [[TNF receptor associated periodic syndrome]], [[porphyria]], and [[systemic lupus erythematosus]].
