In the meanwhile, we read the article by Acikgoz and colleagues on the increased MPV in Behcet’s disease (BD) with thrombotic tendency (Acikgoz et al. 2010). In this article, the a...
متن کاملMean Platelet Volume and Vitamin D Level
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency and a high mean platelet volume (MPV) are related to cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with high MPV. METHODS This study included 434 patients without chronic disease who were not taking vitamin D or calcium supplements. Vitamin D was measured by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay on the Architect-I2000 s...
