Pentraxin-3, Interleukin-6, and Acute Appendicitis: Biomarkers That Need Further Exploration.
Curēus 2020 August 25
Acute appendicitis is one of the most common abdominal emergencies that present in the hospital. With acute appendicitis, there is always a possibility of complications of perforation and peritonitis. Even though medicine has advanced substantially in different investigational modalities, appendicitis is confirmed clinically with the aid of a clinical approach (i.e., Alvarado Score), laboratory, and investigational modalities. However, biomarkers such as pentraxin-3 and interleukin-6 have been recently researched to assess the possibility of confirming the diagnosis of acute appendicitis in both adults and the pediatric age group. This article breaks down the previous research on pentraxin-3 and interleukin-6 biomarkers in relation to appendicitis and proposes a new hypothetical way of confirming the diagnosis.
