This study is designed to investigate effectiveness of CRP as a surgical indication marker as well\u0000as to analyze the levels of elevation in CRP so as to identify cut offs for deciding between surgical and conservative\u0000management in Acute Appendicitis. 200 patients who underwent emergency Appendicectomy were Method:\u0000subjected to clinical examination and routine investigations including pre operative CRP and imaging studies on\u0000admission. Intra operative findings and post operative histopathology report of the specimen were also used for\u0000analysis. The HPR of each Appendicectomy specimen was used to distinguish between inflamed appendix and negative\u0000Appendicectomy and this was correlated to the pre operative levels of serum CRP of each patient to assess the level of\u0000elevation. Results: Among the 200 patients who underwent Appendicectomy, 85.5% had elevated CRP levels above\u000010mg/dL and the sensitivity and specificity of CRP was found to be more than those of USG and Alvarado score in\u0000diagnosing the disease.
