Mean platelet volume in Korean patients with acute ischemic stroke: A gender difference

Mean platelet volume in acute appendicitis: A gender difference

“…Underlying mechanism beneath this finding is yet clearly defined. Resemblance to a previous report by our group [2], which discovered a gender difference of MPV in Korean acute ischemic stroke patients, this study also showed that decline of MPV in AA might be different according to gender, greater in male group. Therefore, we carefully suggest that clinical utility of MPV to discriminate AA from other acute abdomen have to be analyzed separately among genders.…”

“…To the editor, Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an index of platelet production and activation which reflects the changes in platelet size in various conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Although, MPV is an easily obtainable index from automated hematology analyzers, it has rather been overlooked until its associations with various diseases are continuously being reported recently.…”

Mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio in anemia

“…Because the standard biochemical markers of iron metabolism have been traditionally serum or plasma iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), and transferrin saturation (TfS), patients group was defined as shown in Figure 1. For the control group, 311 subjects for medical check-ups were enrolled from the same hospital, which had been used as control group in our previous reports [11,12]. Mean age of patients group was 52.75, and male to female ratio was 153 : 177.…”

Hemostatic markers can be pivotal roles of risk factors for new-onset atrial fibrillation

“…Platelet paremeters can be affected by coronary risk factors, including age, obesity, smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia metabolic syndrome [14]. Some other recent studies have presented that elevated MPV is linked with peripheral artery disease and stroke, all of which are related to atherosclerosis on the basis of inflammation [17]. It can also be affected by thyroid and rheumatic diseases [18,19], malignancy and medications such as anticoagulant therapy, statins.…”
