Diverticulitis Test

The best test for diverticulitis is a CT scan, which provides detailed gastrointestinal and intestinal tract images and helps identify complications.

Diverticulitis can be detected by blood tests that reveal signs of inflammation or infection, such as elevated white blood cell counts and inflammatory markers.

Warning signs and other symptoms of diverticulitis include severe abdominal pain, changes in bowel habits, nausea, vomiting, and, in some cases, chills and sudden belly pain.
