Peritoneal fluid is the fluid in the peritoneal cavity, a space between the wall of the abdomen and the organs inside. A peritoneal culture is a procedure where peritoneal fluid is withdrawn with a needle from the peritoneal cavity
Under normal conditions, peritoneal fluid is clear to pale yellow. Bloody ascites is a characteristic of benign or malignant tumors, hemorrhagic pancreatitis, or perforated ulcer,23 whereas clear or straw colored ascites is often associated with cirrhosis.
Ascites (ay-SITE-eez) is when too much fluid builds up in your abdomen (belly). This condition often happens in people who have cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver. A sheet of tissue called the peritoneum covers the abdominal organs, including the stomach, bowels, liver and kidneys.
