PPCS may resemble perforation. Recognition of PPCS is important, since treatment usually does not require surgery, unlike gastrointestinal perforation. Laboratory studies may show elevated white blood cell count (leukocytosis) and elevated inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein. CT scan of the abdomen may show severe mural thickening ...

C-reactive protein is usually elevated although not commonly measured in the United States. [1] Bilirubin levels are often mildly elevated (1–4 mg/dL). [14] If bilirubin levels are more significantly elevated, alternate or additional diagnoses should be considered such as gallstone blocking the common bile duct (common bile duct stone). [1]
However, SUDD occurs when only abdominal pain with bowel habit change is present, without any other systemic symptoms of diverticulitis like fever, elevated white blood cell count, elevated C-reactive protein. [6] Low grade inflammation of the colonic mucosa within the diverticulum and visceral hypersensitivity are also thought to cause SUDD. [6]
Patients commonly have elevated C-reactive protein and a high white blood cell count. [10] In Asia it is usually on the right (ascending colon), while in North America and Europe, the abdominal pain is usually on the left lower side (sigmoid colon). [2] [8] There may also be fever, nausea, diarrhea or constipation, and blood in the stool. [1]

Inflammatory markers such as white blood cell count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and c-reactive protein may be elevated in some forms of thyroiditis. The gold-standard for diagnosis of thyroiditis is the lack of tracer uptake in a radionuclide uptake scan such as radioactive iodine , technetium-99m or setamibi . [ 6 ]
The main goal is to identify any urticaria-inducing factors because eliminating them is the most straightforward course of treatment. Basic laboratory tests, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and possibly a complete blood count (CBC) with differential, are critical for detecting signs of systemic ...
