ABSTRACT:
A method for blocking lymphatic drainage of the peritoneal cavity of a living mammal by introducing into such cavity particles in the range from about 15 to 150 micron in their shortest cross section which particles are substantially non-toxic and initially substantially water-insoluble. The method can be practiced in combination with peritoneal dialysis or with pharmaceutical agent administration into the peritoneum. Compositions suitable for use in such particle administration are provided.
