متن کاملRole of serum C-reactive protein and leukocyte count in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in Nepalese population.
Various diagnostic modalities have been reported to influence the negative appendicectomy. C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase reactant, may improve the accuracy of diagnosing acute appendicitis. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the utility of CRP as a diagnostic tool among patients clinically suspected to have acute appendicitis. The role of total leukocyte (WBC) count was als...
متن کامل[Evaluation of Ohmann and Eskelinen scores, leukocyte count and ultrasonography findings for diagnosis of appendicitis].
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the diagnostic value of Ohmann and Eskelinen scores, leukocyte count and ultrasonographic (USG) evaluations in acute appendicitis. METHODS This is a retrospective presentation of 186 patients (105 males, 81 females; mean age 29.94+/-12.70; range 6 to 70 years) operated with the diagnosis of acute appendicitis between May 1, 2004 and Janu...
متن کاملPhospholipase A2, C-reactive protein, and white blood cell count in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis.
We compared the predictive value of determining group II phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in serum for diagnosing acute appendicitis with the predictive values of white blood cell count (WBC) and measurement of C-reactive protein (CRP). In this prospective study, we included 186 patients who were undergoing appendectomy after clinical diagnoses of acute appendicitis. The performance of each test was mea...
