The association of platelet count and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with types of stroke
Background: Stroke is known to be the third most prominent cause of death in the developing countries and the most common debilitating neurologic disease. This study aimed to investigate the association of platelet count (PC) and mean platelet volume (MPV) index with various stroke types. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on patients over the age of 18 years who presented wit...
متن کاملPlatelet counts and mean platelet volume in association with serum magnesium in maintenance hemodialysis patients
INTRODUCTION Platelet dysfunction is responsible for increased bleeding tendency of chronic renal failure patients. Magnesium (Mg) retention can occur in patients on maintenance hemodialysis. OBJECTIVES Studies concerning the impact of magnesium disturbances on platelet counts and mean volume in hemodialysis are quiet scarce. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 36 (f= 15, m= 21), HD patients we...
متن کاملMean Platelet Volume and Immature Platelet Fraction in Autoimmune Disorders
Mean platelet volume (MPV), measured using automated blood analysers, has been appraised as a potential biomarker in cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. The test, a useful tool in differentiation of thrombocytopenic states, has now been carried out for autoimmune disorders, but data are yet scarce. Controversial results have been obtained in systemic and organ-specific autoim...
متن کاملComparison of Mean Platelet Volume, Platelet Count, Total Leucocyte and Neutrophil Counts in Normoglycemics, Impaired Fasting Glusose and Diabetics
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a global pandemic and a complex disease characterized by chronic hyperglycaemia, metabolic abnormalities, long term macro – microvascular abnormalities involving the blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. Platelet parameters such as high platelet count and mainly high mean platelet volume (MPV) have been reported in diabetic patients, contributing to the inc...
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...
