Predictive value of serum sodium level in determining perforated appendicitis

Predictive value of serum sodium level in determining perforated appendicitis

The aim of the study was to investigate the predictive value of hyponatremia as a new biochemical marker for the early and accurate preoperative diagnosis of complicated appendicitis in the adult population. 732 patients who were operated for acute appendicitis (AA) and diagnosed as perforation intr...

Zusammenfassung:The aim of the study was to investigate the predictive value of hyponatremia as a new biochemical marker for the early and accurate preoperative diagnosis of complicated appendicitis in the adult population. 732 patients who were operated for acute appendicitis (AA) and diagnosed as perforation intraoperatively were evaluated retrospectively. Serum sodium, C-reactive protein (CRP), and leukocyte levels of patients with perforated and nonperforated appendicitis were compared. Perforated appendicitis patients had statistically lower serum Na values (p
