The purpose of this study was to investigate whether platelet indexes [platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet-large cell ratio (P-LCR), and platelet distribution width (PDW)] could serve as diagnostic tools to evaluate the potential significance of platelet heterogeneity on thrombus formation. Blood samples were obtained from 54 patie...
Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW) and plateletcrit (PCT) platelet parameters can be important to improve the initial identification of platelet disorders. The purpose of this study is to establish reference values for the platelet count (PLT), MPV, PDW and PCT in a population of 1346 apparently healthy adults, from both ...

The aim of the study was to investigate (1) whether there are any changes in release of platelet-derived growth factor AA (PDGF AA) in children with nephrotic syndrome without clinical thromboembolic symptoms 2; (2) whether serum PDGF AA correlates with the platelet count (PLT) and platelet indices; (3) whether prednisone therapy affects the serum ...

Background/Aims: Acute pancreatitis constitutes a systemic inflammatory process which is often accompanied by thrombosis and bleeding disorders. The role of platelets in the pathophysiology of the disease has not been elucidated yet. The present study focuses on two successive end-points: (1) the activation of platelets during acute pancreatitis an...

MPV was significantly higher in the patients with acute MI. In both groups, MPV showed great daytime and nighttime variation, which can be attributed to alterations in the autonomic nervous system. The authors suggest that the prognostic role of increased MPV in patients with acute MI is closely associated with increased sympathetic activity and de...
The Abbott Cell-Dyn 3000 automated hematological analyzer prepares a histogram of platelet volume, which is measured by a technique using electrical impedance, inferring from its platelet count (PLT), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW). This equipment also calculates the plateletcrit (PCT). These platelet parameters ma...
