Abnormal urinalysis findings are not uncommon in patients with acute appendicitis. Our study demonstrated a significant correlation between tit erythrocyte, tit leukocyte, and tit leukocyte esterase positivity with appendicitis locations. Therefore, we believe that pathological findings in urine tests of patients undergoing surgery with a preliminary diagnosis of appendicitis can provide valuable information to surgeons regarding the location of the appendix, ultimately aiding in optimizing the timing and cost of the operation.
