A method is provided for diagnosing appendicitis in a patient that includes identifying at least one symptom of appendicitis in the patient and identifying the presence of at least one molecule differentially associated with appendicitis in a fluid or tissue sample of said patient. MRP-8/14 and haptoglobin are examples of molecules differentially associated with appendicitis. Devices and kits for performing the appendicitis assays of this invention are also provided. In one embodiment, the device is in a flow- through immunoassay format for testing blood samples. Further, methods for screening for molecules differentially associated with appendicitis are provided that include the use of samples from patients being operated on for suspected appendicitis.

L'invention concerne un procédé destiné au diagnostic de l'appendicite chez un patient, consistant à identifier au moins un symptôme de l'appendicite chez le patient et à identifier la présence d'au moins une molécule associée de manière différenciée à l'appendicite dans un prélèvement de fluide ou de tissu dudit patient. La MRP-8/14 et l'haptoglobine comptent parmi les molécules associées de manière différenciée à l'appendicite. L'invention concerne également des dispositifs et des trousses permettant de réaliser des analyses visant à diagnostiquer une appendicite. Dans un mode de réalisation, le dispositif se présente sous la forme d'un dosage immunologique continu destiné à l'essai de prélèvements sanguins. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de criblage de molécules associées de manière différenciée à l'appendicite, consistant à utiliser des échantillons prélevés sur des patients opérés pour une appendicite présumée.
