Evaluation of Importance of S Bilirubin Level in Cases of Simple and Complicated Acute Appendicitis
Abstract: Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the commonest cause of Acute Surgical abdomen. Delay in diagnosis of acute appendicitis leads to perforation and peritonitis and increased mortality. Perforation ranges 50-90% in various series, Recently elevation in serum bilirubin was reported, but the importance of the raised total bilirubin has not been stressed in acute appendicitis and appendicular perforation. The present study was undertaken to assess relationship between hyperbilirubinemia and acute appendicitis/perforated appendicitis and to evaluate its importance as a diagnostic marker. Materials and Methods: Study was conducted in the department of general surgery, Sri Devaraj URS Medical college. A total of 100 patients with clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis and co relationships with serum bilirubin leading to appendicular perforation were studied. All patients data collected with respect to age, gender, duration of symptoms. surgical procedures were undertaken with the understanding and appropriate informed consent of each patient before surgery. The operations were performed under regional or General anesthesia. Results: As per the study, the age group 1mg% and 72 patients
