Appendicitis can be detected in human beings suspected of having appendicitis by determining a threshold level of 10mg/liter of sigma -hydroxyhippuric acid in the urine of such humans. This threshold level can be determined by qualitative, semi-quantitative, or quantitative methods including HPLC (high pressure liquid chromatography), TLC (thin layer chromatography), radioimmunoassay, colorimetric tests, NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance), mass spectrometry, electrophoresis, monoclonal antibody tests, and enzymatic tests. |
