The kidneys are located in the peritoneal cavity. Infection of this cavity is called peritonitis, and can be deadly. Dialysis can be done by instilling dianeal solution into the peritoneal cavity, and allowing the semipermiable membranes surronding the kidneys, and other organs to "clean themselves." This process is called peritoneal dialysis.
