Leucograma, proteína C reativa, alfa-1 glicoproteína ácida e velocidade de hemossedimentação na apendicite aguda

Abstract: 1RESUMO -Racional -O diagnóstico da apendicite aguda é clínico, mas alguns indivíduos podem apresentar sinais e sintomas pouco característicos. As dificuldades diagnósticas ainda conduzem os cirurgiões à realização de laparotomias desnecessárias, que atingem índices de 15% a 40%. Os exames laboratoriais, assim, podem se tornar complementos úteis no diagnóstico da apendicite aguda. O leucograma parece ser o de maior valor, mas a dosagem das proteínas de fase aguda, em especial da proteína C reativa, é objeto de… Show more

“…In this respect, it had been reported that inflammatory markers such as WBCs is poorly reliable in confirming the presence of AA because of their low specificity in adults and children [2,7,31]. Sensitivity and specificity for WBCs count determined in this study is comparable with various national [32,33] and international [6,33-35] studies in which sensitivity ranges from 80.0–88.7%, while specificity ranges from 61.5-87.0%. So, leukocyte count by itself is not completely preventive against negative appendectomy, a finding consistent with our results.…”

“…Os exames complementares de leucograma (LCG) e proteína C reativa (PCR) podem ser usados para a confirmação do diagnóstico positivo para apendicite aguda. O LCG e a dosagem da PCR são exames de boa sensibilidade, mas o PCR apresenta pouca especificidade (CARVALHO et al, 2003). O leucograma (LCG) encontra-se alterado em 70% a 90% dos pacientes com apendicite aguda.…”
