Quantify the level of endocan in blood samples collected from patients with acute diverticulitis in the emergency department. Determine if endocan levels are correlated with the severity of diverticulitis according to the WSES classification. Assess whether patients requiring emergency surgical intervention have higher endocan values compared to others.
