Dr. Amar Chandrakant Holambe, Dr. Snehal Nachiket Purandare

Abstract :

Appendicitis is the most common acute surgical condition of the abdomen. Simple case of appendicitis can progress to perforation within 48hrs of attack of acute appendicitis, which increases both morbidity and mortality. Cholestasis and portal pyemia form the basis for sepsis in cases of appendicitis and the present study aimed to evaluate the co-relation of hyperbilirubinemia and severity of appendicitis
