Due to the physiological and anatomical changes that occur during pregnancy and the limited use of radiological methods, it is difficult to diagnose AA during pregnancy. These conditions increase the risk of morbidity and mortality; therefore, it is crucial to identify ideal laboratory markers that can be utilized to diagnose disease.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and ten pregnancies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria for AA diagnosis were retrospectively analysed between 2010 and 2021. Markers with high diagnostic values were discussed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The patients were divided into three groups as follows; Group I: negative appendectomy (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a019); Group IIa: uncomplicated appendicitis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a059); Group IIb: complicated appendicitis (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a032). There was no statistically significant difference in mean age or gestational week (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u20090.05). Group IIb had a higher rate of complications and a longer length of hospital stay (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05). There were significant differences between the groups in terms of white blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, neutrophil\u2010to\u2010lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet\u2010to\u2010lymphocyte ratio (PLR), C\u2010reactive protein, lymphocyte\u2010to\u2010 C\u2010reactive protein ratio, total, direct, and indirect bilirubin values (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
