The Role of Ischemia Modified Albumin and D-dimer as Early or Late Biochemical Markers in Ovarian Torsion.

Objective: Our aim was to examine the potential roles of ischemia modified albumin(IMA) and D-dimer as reliable early diagnostic markers of ovarian torsion.

Materials And Methods: 24 Wistar albino rats were included and randomized into three groups. Control (sham) rats underwent laparotomy then bilateral ovaries removed for histopathological examination and concomitant blood sampling for IMA and D-dimer assays after 4 h.
