Mean platelet volume as a surrogate marker of low-grade inflammation in osteoarthritis

Mean platelet volume is associated with aortic arterial stiffness in patients with Behçet's disease without significant cardiovascular involvement

“…Mean platelet volume (MPV), the most commonly used measure of platelet size, is a potential marker of platelet reactivity . Recently, MPV has been known as a inflammatory marker in various inflammatory diseases . MPV levels have also been investigated in BD.…”

“…16 Recently, MPV has been known as a inflammatory marker in various inflammatory diseases. [17][18][19] MPV levels have also been investigated in BD.…”

Evaluation of mean platelet volume and neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio as a diagnostic indicator in patients with recurrent aphthous stomatitis

“…It correlates well to platelet function and activation and is stated to be a significant indicator of inflammation in chronic diseases. [5][6][7]25] The relationship between MPV and Behçet's disease was shown in a study by Acikgoz et al [26] Immunological mechanisms play a major role in the etiopathogenesis of Behçet's and RAS diseases. Hypersensitivity of T lymphocytes to a variety of antigens plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of these diseases.…”

“…[4] MPV correlates well with platelet function and activation and is stated to be an indicator of inflammation in chronic diseases. [5][6][7] Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), like MPV, can be determined in full blood counts. NLR is used as a marker of systemic inflammation.…”

Mean platelet volume and glomerular filtration rate: Two important risk determinants in coronary artery disease

“…Furthermore, MPV is linked with peripheral artery disease and stroke, all of which are related to atherosclerosis on the basis of inflammation [2,7]. It can also be affected by rheumatoid arthritis [8,9], osteoarthritis [10], Behçet's disease [11], malignancy [12] and medications such as anticoagulant therapy, statins. So, if the authors had mentioned these factors, it might be useful.…”
