  • Title: [Abdominal pain].
    Author: Bom WJ, Gans SL, Claessen JJM, Boermeester MA.
    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2023 Apr 18; 167():. PubMed ID: 37078557.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal pain can be part of a variety of abdominal and non-abdominal conditions. Individual symptoms and signs from history taking and physical examination have limited discriminatory value for a clear diagnosis. Additional laboratory testing strategies and imaging techniques can provide more guidance in this respect. In this article, we will answer specific practical questions with respect to abdominal pain. Topics discussed include various abdominal conditions, diagnostic markers, the diagnostic value of imaging techniques and the most recent changes in the policies for the diagnosis of appendicitis, cholecystitis and diverticulitis.
