The change of mean platelet volume and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio one year after iniation of peritoneal dialysis

Aim: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Thrombocyte indices which indicators platelet activation predictors cardiovascular events. We aim to examine change count, mean volume, and volume count ratio one year after initiation dialysis with end-stage renal disease. Materials Methods: This retrospective study included 28 patients. Demographic clinical characteristics at time were recorded from patient files. Laboratory data within last month before first The was calculated as (femtolitres) divided by (number thousand platelets/microliter). Results: age 51.1 ± 14.6 years, 42.8% male. Diabetic nephropathy hypertensive causes One dialysis, urea level decreased significantly, C-reactive protein increased significantly.
