Abstract:Introduction: Acute appendicitis is the commonest surgical emergency. Many laboratory investigations and radiology aid in its diagnosis. Out of which CRP, TLC and USG are commonly used.
Aim: To study the role of CRP, TLC and USG in diagnosis of acute appendicitis
Objective: to prove that combined values of above aid in higher sensitivity in diagnosing appendicitis.
Methodology: Total 97 patients were included in study from period December 2012 to June 2014 in KIMS, Hubli.
Results: The combined values of CRP, TLC and USG has 100% sensitivity in diagnosing acute appendicitis.
