Laboratory findings in acute mesenteric infarction.
A study on the preoperative data of 16 patients with acute mesenteric infarction and the comparison to the pre-operative data of two homogenous groups is reported. The first group includes 11 patients with intestinal necrosis from venous obstruction and the second group includes 10 patients, with mechanical bowel obstruction. From the statistical analysis of the obtained data and the review of current literature it seems possible to obtain a useful differential diagnosis.
