Mean Platelet Volume can Predict Cerebrovascular Events in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of mean platelet volume (MPV) on the frequency and severity of vaso-occlusive and cerebrovascular events in patients with sickle cell anemia (SCA). METHODS The 238 cases diagnosed with SCA were evaluated retrospectively with respect to the occurrence of painful crisis for the previous year. The incidence, severity and type of the...
متن کاملSide Effects of Hydroxyurea in Patients with Sickle Cell Anemia
Background: Hemoglobin S arises is the result of a point mutation (A-T) in the sixth codon on the -globin gene on chromosome 11 causing sickle cell anemia. The presence of fetal hemoglobin in infancy plays a relatively protective role for vaso-occlusive symptoms that are the major contributor for the morbidity and mortality among patients with sickle cell anemia. hydroxyurea, an s-phase-specif...
متن کاملCould mean platelet volume predict developing of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome?
Introduction: some studies have suggested correlation between MPV index and inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis in adults. Though bronchopulmonary dysplasia is also an inflammatory disease which develops in preterm neonates with Respiratory distress syndrome, we decided to study the possible correlation between the mean platelet volume (MPV) and the occurrence of bronchopulmonary...
متن کاملIs elevated mean platelet volume associated with a worse outcome in patients with acute ischemic cerebrovascular events?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Increased mean platelet volume (MPV), indicating higher platelet reactivity, is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. Higher levels of MPV have been found in patients with acute ischemic stroke than in control subjects. Data from smaller studies regarding an association between MPV and stroke severity and outcome have been controversial. If such an a...
