Mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio in anemia

Mean platelet volume according to the ethnic difference

“…1). MPV difference between the Russian individuals and the Korean control group of our previous study was not statistically significant [2][3][4][5][6]. Contrary to our previous study on Korean individuals, we found no significant relationship between MPV and age in the Russian group [2][3][4][5][6].…”

“…Sir, We read a very interesting and helpful article to analyze mean platelet volume (MPV) with different hematologic analyzers by Latger-Cannard et al [1] . Recently, several reports suggest that MPV tend to differ depending on which hematologic analyzer was used [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. However, effects of the different biologic variables such as ethnicity has not been fully elucidated.…”

“…During that period, we derived MPV results from a total of 426 Russian individuals. Meanwhile, the control group was composed of 7024 Korean individuals that were used in our previous study where their cumulative results for MPV could be retrieved [2][3][4][5][6]. Blood sampling was performed through venepuncture and MPV was measured within 2 h from the collection of K3 salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulated blood on ADVIA 2120 (Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics Inc., Tarrytown, NY, USA).…”

Mean platelet volume in acute appendicitis: A gender difference

“…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 and mean platelet volume/platelet count ratio in infective endocarditis

“…The mean platelet volume (MPV) is a platelet index measured routinely as part of a complete blood count (CBC) in most clinical laboratories using automated analyzers [4][5][6][7]. In general, larger platelets are more active and thrombophilic than those of a normal or smaller size [4,7,8].…”
