Abstract

Appendicitis in children is a frequent diagnosis of surgical interventions in children in the emergency department, but it is often difficult in establishing diagnosis in children because children are often less cooperative. Delay in diagnosis of appendicitis can cause perforation and peritonitis. Therefore, another method of diagnosis of appendicitis in addition to anamnesis is needed. In a study by Chen Yu, he stated that urinalysis examination can also be used in emergency room to diagnose life-threatening conditions such as appendicitis. So in this study, we analyzed the Nitrates, Ketones, erytrocyte and Leucocyte present in the urinalysis and looked at their correlation with the state of appendicitis in children.
