LRG - A Potential Biomarker to Diagnose Acute Appendicitis
Accurate, early diagnosis of acute appendicitis continues to be a major diagnostic challenge and cannot be detected by current inflammatory biomarkers. Leucine-rich alpha-2-glycoprotein (LRG) is a novel marker and functions as an acute-phase protein that is secreted by neutrophils. As neutrophils act as first responders to infection LRG may be useful to diagnose acute appendicitis.
