Core Tip The diagnosis of acute appendicitis can be difficult and confusing. A rapid and accurate diagnosis is important because of potential complications, therefore, new biomarkers for diagnosis are needed. This study investigated the diagnostic accuracy of indicators of platelet activation, namely mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width, in acute appendicitis patients. Results shows that platelet distribution width analysis can be used for diagnosis of acute appendicitis without requiring additional tests. Therefore, it reduces the cost and loss of time.
