Abstract

Introduction: The aim of this study was to determine the role of hyperbilirubinemia as a new diagnostic tool for predictor of gangrenous / perforated appendicitis.

Methods: Hospital based prospective study was conducted on 100 patients with perforated/gangrenous appendix

Results: In acute appendicitis case out of 84 cases 26 cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl, in gangrenous appendicitis out of 3 cases all cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl and in perforated appendicitis out of 13 cases 12 cases bilirubin level was more than 1mg/dl

Conclusion: It is concluded from present study that elevated total serum bilirubin without elevation of liver enzymes is a good indicator of appendicular perforation.
