The Diagnostic Value of Irisin and Visfatin in Experimental Testicular Torsion

Abstract

Aim: Testicular torsion (TT) is one of the most important causes of acute scrotum in children and young men. Very scarce number of serum laboratory parameters might be used in the early diagnosis of patients with TT. We planned this study in consideration of the possible significance of the changes in serum irisin and visfatin levels in the diagnosis of TT.
