Abstract
Urine LRG ELISA allows for discrimination between patients with and without acute appendicitis but exhibits limited accuracy because of immunoassay interference. Direct measurements of urine LRG with selected ion monitoring mass spectrometry demonstrate superior diagnostic performance. Development of a clinical-grade urine LRG assay is needed to advance the diagnostic accuracy of clinical evaluations of appendicitis.
