To properly diagnose appendicitis, you need to do several tests. First, you need to check your blood count to see if there are signs of infection in your blood, and then you need to perform a radiation scan like an X-ray computer scan (CT scan) to get a detailed image of your abdomen, and then you need to do a urine test and kidney function to eliminate other potential causes of symptoms.
