Symptom #10: Urinating Less
What goes in, must come out eventually, and the fluids that we drink are no exception. The fluids and toxins that we don’t need are filtered out from the blood by the kidneys, which then pass the fluids onto the bladder where they are stored. When the bladder can hold no more, it is time for its contents to be removed from the body. This is called urination.
We will usually urinate several times a day, depending largely on how much we drink and what we are drinking. People with peritonitis, though, are likely to find that they are urinating far less than usual. Urinating less frequently is a symptom that should always be checked out.
