Abstract

Introduction: Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis of acute appendicitis may result in perforation and will increase the mortality and morbidity of patients. Serum Bilirubin may be an aid in the diagnosis of appendiceal perforation. Methods: A study was conducted in the Department of Surgery, Assam Medical College, from November 2019 to November 2020. A total of 50 patients with clinical diagnosis of acute appendicitis or appendicular perforation were studied. The serum bilirubin estimation was carried out in all the patients. Result:Serum Bilirubin was elevated in the patients with both acute appendicitis and appendicular perforation. Conclusion: Serum Bilirubin has a predictive potential for the diagnosis of acute appendicitis and appendicular perforation. Patients who present with clinical signs and symptoms of appendicitis and a raised bilirubin level should be identied as having a higher probability of appendicular perforation.
