COMPAR NG SERUM PROCALC TON N LEVELW TH SERUM C-REACT VE PROTE N LEVELAT ACUTE CHOLECYST T SABSTRACTObjective: The aim of this study is to examine role of serum procalcitoninlevel in predicting severity of inflammation and development of complications, andto compare serum procalcitonin level with C-reactive protein in patients with acutecalculeous cholecystitis and biliary colic.Material and Method: Three groups of randomly selected patients older than16 years were evaluated in the study, each consisting of 20 patients.Group I included the patients with the following clinical properties: abdominalpain, positive ultrasonographic finding and/or positive Murphy?s sign, and at leastone of the clinical findings such as fever and leucocytosis. Group II included thepatients with abdominal pain and stone in the gall bladder detected withultrasonography. Group III included healthy persons who had no infectious orinflammatory symptoms or signs in history and physical examination.xviiiBlood samples were taken from the patients in Groups I and II for measurementof serum procalcitonin and C-reactive protein within the first 24 hours, at 72nd hourand 7th day. Blood samples were taken from the Group III once only.Results: Significant difference was found between all the groups in respect ofC-reactive protein levels determined within the first 24 hours. No significantdifference was found between the Groups I and II in respect of C-reactive proteinlevels determined at 72nd hour and 7th day.Comparison of C-reactive protein levels with treatment methods showed asignificant difference in the patients treated with laparoscopy or open surgery onthe7th day.Significant difference was found between the Groups I and II in respect ofprocalcitonin levels determined within the first 24 hours. Serum procalcitonin levelwithin the first 24 hours was significantly higher in those who underwent opensurgery than in those who received medical treatment.Conclusion: Serum procalcitonin level in association with C-reactive proteinlevel may be used for early evaluation of inflammation severity and complications ingall bladder diseases.Key words: acute cholecystitis, c-reactive protein, cholelithiasis, procalcitoninxiix
