1. A method of determining an analyte concentration within a peritoneal fluid of a human subject, comprising:

  • implanting an analyte sensor apparatus in the subject, the apparatus comprising a flexible sensing catheter and a housing, the catheter comprising a lumen with at least one aperture and an analyte sensor in fluid communication with the lumen, the catheter comprising a proximal end attached to the housing, wherein the implanting step comprises positioning the sensing catheter within a true pelvis of the peritoneal space and anchoring the housing at a subcutaneous site proximate the peritoneal space;

    contacting the analyte sensor with a peritoneal fluid sample outside the sensing catheter;

    sensing an analyte concentration in peritoneal fluid sample; and

    transducing the sensed analyte concentration into a transmittable electrical signal.
