Doctor may order a complete blood count (CBC).
Appendicitis is often accompanied by bacterial infection. An infection in your urinary tract or other abdominal organs. Doctor can also ask for a C-reactive protein test to check if there are other causes for abdominal inflammation.
Urine Tests
To rule out a urinary tract infection or kidney stones as a potential cause of your symptoms, your doctor may use urinalysis or urine test.
Pregnancy Tests
Ectopic pregnancy happens when a fertilized egg implants itself in a fallopian tube, rather than the uterus and can be mistaken for appendicitis. Doctor may perform a pregnancy test.

In most cases, a surgeon must remove the appendix. Surgical options are:
Laparoscopy
This is a precise procedure in which there is minimal loss of blood and only a small incision. During laparoscopic surgery, surgeons insert special surgical tools into several smaller incisions. This option is believed to have fewer complications and a shorter recovery time.
Open surgery
In rare cases, a larger incision will be made so that the area inside the abdominal cavity can be cleaned. This happens if the appendix has ruptured, and infection has spread. The appendix has caused an abscess, or the patient has tumours in the digestive system or if the patient is in third trimester of pregnancy.
