  • Title: [Lysosomal-cationic test in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis].
    Author: Grachev AM, Timoshchenkov DV.
    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1987 Mar; 138(3):45-7. PubMed ID: 3617373.
    Abstract:
    In 102 patients with acute appendicitis the lysosomal cationic test (LCT) was used prior to operation in addition to routine analysis of blood. It was established that there was an obvious interrelation between the LCT indices and character of the inflammation in the process: the more pronounced morphological alterations in the process, the more considerable decrease of LCT. The method of determination of LCT is simple and may be recommended for wide practical use.
