Summary

The management of acute diverticulitis maybe better if we have prognostic markers of evolution. Hypothesis: C-reactive protein maybe a good prognostic marker of evolution of acute diverticulitis. The investigators need to know the values of C-reactive protein to predict evolution of acute diverticulitis.

Detailed description

A prospective observational study. All the patients with TC-diagnosis of acute diverticulitis (AD) had a C-reactive protein (PCR) in the initial blood test. The investigators will predict evolution of AD with the PCR initial.

Conditions

• Acute Diverticulitis

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
