Özet

Introduction: Acute cholecystitis is an inflammatory disease of the gallbladder. Ultrasonography (US) is the initial and the most valuable method in the diagnosis of acute cholecystitis. Also, laboratory findings are used to support the diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet (PLT) counts in patients with acute cholecystitis.
