| Popis: | Peritonitis is a clinical syndrome rather than a definitive diagnosis and, as such, the underlying cause must be identified. Many potential causes exist, and peritonitis may be classified as primary or secondary, local or diffuse, acute or chronic, or according to the causative agent. Peritonitis is one of the most common initiators of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome faced by the small animal practitioner. Because systemic inflammatory response syndrome is such a devastating disease process, aggressive stabilization, rapid definitive diagnosis, and prompt surgical and medical treatment are vital for optimizing outcome. |
