HbA1c and RBS could be used as inflammatory markers for surgical acute abdomen and its degree of severity, respectively. HbA1c rises in a considerable number of cases with surgical acute abdomen, irrespective of the disease stage. However, as the disease progresses, the random blood sugar rises due to stress hyperglycaemia, thus becoming a surrogate inflammatory marker.
