    Abstract

    Acute appendicitis is one of the most common causes of surgical emergencies in the world. It has signs and symptoms, like increased leukocyte count and right lower quadrant pain but their accuracy is questionable. Hence, it is necessary to improve the accuracy of diagnosis of acute appendicitis to prevent negative appendicectomies. In this study, we suggest that calculation of the Neutrophil to Lymphocyte ratio may provide a sensitive parameter in the preoperative prediction of acute appendicitis and may help preoperatively to differentiate complicated from non-complicated appendicitis
