Acute appendicitis: transcript profiling of blood identifies promising biomarkers and potential underlying processes
15 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of acute appendicitis can be surprisingly difficult without computed tomography, which carries significant radiation exposure. Circulating blood cells may carry informative changes in their RNA expression profile that would signal internal infection or inflammation of the appendix. METHODS: Genome-wide expression profiling was applied to whole blood RNA of acute appendicitis patients...
