Acute cholecystitis is a common disease requiring accurate markers for diagnosis and proper treatment. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of red cell distribution width (RDW) in acute cholecystitis.
299 were included in the study. The subjects were divided into 2 groups; group 1 (n: 46) acute cholecystitis group and group 2 (n: 253) chronic cholecystitis group. The patients were compared with respect to demographic characteristics, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and red cell distribution width.
A statistically significant difference was observed between groups with respect to gender, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, and red cell distribution width level (p<0.05). The mean red cell distribution width level of group 1 and 2 was 14.19±2.02% and 15.03±2.51%, respectively.
Red cell distribution width level can be used as a predictor of acute cholecystitis. Multicenter prospective studies should be performed to elucidate the exact role of RDW level in acute cholecystitis.
急性胆囊炎是一种常见疾病,需要准确的诊断标志物以进行恰当治疗。本研究旨在探讨红细胞分布宽度(RDW)在急性胆囊炎中的作用。
本研究纳入299例患者。将受试者分为两组;第1组(n = 46)为急性胆囊炎组,第2组(n = 253)为慢性胆囊炎组。对患者的人口统计学特征、白细胞计数、C反应蛋白和红细胞分布宽度进行比较。
两组在性别、白细胞计数、C反应蛋白和红细胞分布宽度水平方面存在统计学显著差异(p<0.05)。第1组和第2组的平均红细胞分布宽度水平分别为14.19±2.02%和15.03±2.51%。
红细胞分布宽度水平可作为急性胆囊炎的预测指标。应开展多中心前瞻性研究以阐明RDW水平在急性胆囊炎中的确切作用。
