Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) as an indicator of disease activity and severity in lupus

چکیده
Amongst the different clinical and laboratory parameters used to Background: monitor disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), mean platelet volume (MPV) is a novel biomarker. Although MPV has been studied in other rheumatological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, its role in adult SLE needs to be defined, especially in Pakistan. The aim of this study was to Methods: evaluate the role of MPV as a biomarker of disease activity in SLE. Fifty patients were recruited through a consecutive non-probability sampling technique for this cross-sectional study. On the basis of their SLE disease activity index (SLEDAI) score of greater or lesser than 5, these 50 participants were divided into two equal groups respectively;25 patients with active SLE, and another 25 participants with stable, inactive lupus. MPV was measured in each group and compared using SPSS version 16. MPV was also correlated with SLEDAI and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). Independent sample t-test and Spearman’s rho and Pearson’s correlation tests were applied. Sensitivity and specificity of MPV were checked through ROC analysis. The MPV of patients with active SLE (n=25, mean [M]=7.12, Results: SD=1.01) was numerically lower than those in the inactive-SLE group (n=25, M= 10.12, SD=0.97), and this was statistically significant ( <0.001). MPV had P an inverse relationship with both ESR (r=-0.93, <0.001) and SLEDAI (r = P -0.89, <0.001). However, there was a strong positive correlation between ESR P and SLEDAI (r =0.90, <0.001). For MPV, a cutoff value of less than 8.5fl had a P sensitivity of 92% and a specificity of 100% ( < 0.001). Higher P Conclusions: disease activity in SLE is associated with a correspondingly low MPV.

Could 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...

Background: Mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with platelet reactivity. Large platelets contain more thrombogenic factors than small ones. Previous studies have shown platelet reactivity in patients with pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE).The aim of this study was to investigate the mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet count in patients with PTE and healthy control subjects. Methods ...

Background: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disorder with periods of remission and relapses. The complexity of clinical presentation of the SLE patients leads to incorrect evaluation of disease activity. Mean platelet volume (MPV) has been studied as a simple inflammatory marker in several diseases. There are very few studies in the literature about platele...
