Overview
Common electrolyte and biomarker indicators of appendicitis include leukocytosis and a shift to the left in the segmented neutrophils.
Laboratory Findings
Common electrolyte and biomarker indicators of appendicitis include leukocytosis and a shift to the left in the segmented neutrophils. Acute appendicitis is unlikely when leucocyte count, neutrophil percentage, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are simultaneously normal.[1]
