“…Most recent evidence assessing the accuracy of blood tests in detecting mesenteric ischaemia and infarction is poor [333–359]. On meta‐analysis review [334,335] of the predictive biochemical and haematological markers in AMI, D‐dimer was found to have the highest sensitivity (93.4%–96%).…”

“…The use of serum lactate should probably be addressed in patients who have signs of a septic infection. This test should be based on the degree of suspect specific diseases[ 32 ]. Substantially, critical values may be segmented into tiers of severity, including the critical at a high level “must know now” results, the “must know” results with less critical value, and the “should know” results or, also called, “courtesy” calls by Dietzen[ 33 , 34 ].…”

“…Lactate levels have been reported to increase in inflammatory and ischemic conditions, such as acute appendicitis and mesenteric ischemia [7,8]. In addition to the studies indicating that the lactate level increases in patients who undergo surgery due to the acute abdomen [9], there are also studies indicating that these levels are not sufficient for surgical decisions in these patients [10]. Since, elderly patients with acute abdominal pain may visit the hospital much later than younger patients, ischemia is thought to be a likely preexisting pathology, and serum lactate level is expected to increase.…”
