Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Mean Platelet Volume

Abstract: This study suggests that MPV is significantly higher in patients with NAFLD, indicating the presence of increased platelet activity in such patients. Future research is needed to investigate whether this increased MPV is associated with increased cardiovascular disease in patients with NAFLD.

“…MPV and PDW used to evaluate platelet function and activity is a cost‐effective and routinely available test. Increased MPV was associated with a higher risk of death after MI, a higher coronary stent restenosis rate and higher morbidity and cardiovascular mortality risk after a stroke (Arevalo‐Lorido et al., ; Balli et al., ; Madan, John, & Pitchumoni, ). The findings from the meta‐analysis provide strong epidemiological evidence for the important role of platelet in ED pathogenesis.…”

“…Mean platelet volume, a readily available parameter from CBC, provides significant clues about the megakaryocytic activity and platelet activation [8,17]. Mean platelet volume has been found to be increased in a number of diseases like heart disease [6,[18][19][20], type 2 diabetes mellitus [21], nonalcoholic fatty liver disease [22], pancreatitis [23] and malignancies [24]. More importantly, higher MPV values were demonstrated to be associated with higher mortality in coronary artery disease [6,18,20], and increased risk of stroke in atrial fibrillation patients [19].…”

“…In a Korean cross-sectional study, Shin et al have observed that the increased values of mean platelet volume (MPV) was significantly associated with the prevalence of non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis in obese population, even after adjustment for confounding variables [ 22 ]. In a recent meta-analysis, Madan et al also reported that MPV is significantly higher in patients with NAFLD, indicating the presence of increased platelet activity in such patients [ 23 ]. Therefore, the previous and present findings implicated that the characteristics of the peripheral platelet in NAFLD individuals should be further investigated in future.…”
