Abstract
There is currently no known marker for acute appendicitis that is consistently specific. While hyperbilirubinaemia has been shown in recent research to be a valuable predictor of appendiceal perforation, the usefulness of bilirubin as a measure for acute appendicitis was not examined. Finding the usefulness of hyperbilirubinaemia as a marker for acute appendicitis was the goal of this investigation. Three general patient groups were compared: patients with non‐inflamed appendices were compared to patients with acute appendicitis that was not perforated or gangrenous (simple acute appendicitis)., patients with appendiceal perforation or gangrene were compared to patients with simple acute appendicitis. 264 individuals, or 54.7% of the 482 patients who were included in the research, were male. 27 was the average age (median 23, range: 5‐82). The distribution of patients by histological group is shown in Table 1. Eighty‐six individuals (18%) had an appendix that was not inflamed. Hyperbilirubinaemia is a useful sign for acute appendicitis. Patients with hyperbilirubinemia are also more likely to get gangrene or appendiceal perforation. For those who may have appendicitis, part of the approach should include a bilirubin examination.
