Table 4

Leukocytosis, bilirubin, and transaminase level in the young and elderly group of patients with a diagnosis of acute cholecystitis.

	Group I	Group II
Number of patients	39	36
Leukocytosis	12	33	p<0.001
Elevated bilirubin level	18	24
Elevated hepatic transaminases level	15	18

() A significant difference was noted in the presence of leukocytosis when the age groups of the patients with acute cholecystitis were compared (p<0.001).
