The effect of subclinical hypothyroidism on platelet parameters

Abstract

Our results indicate that MPV and PDW play an important predictive role in subclinical hypothyroidism.

Mean Platelet Volume and Uric Acid Levels in Neonatal Sepsis: Correspondence II

“…Secondly, there is association of MPV with hypothyroidism [3]. The authors did not mention about any possible presence of neonatal hypothyroidism.…”

“…The authors did not mention about any possible presence of neonatal hypothyroidism. It has been shown that hypothyroidism increases MPV values [3]. Absolutely, this factor should be considered in MPV assessment in newborns like adults.…”

Mean Platelet Volume and Uric Acid Levels in Neonatal Sepsis: Authors’ Reply

“…As stated by Prof Varol, hypothyroidism may increase the MPV values [2]. In our unit, all newborns are screened for congenital hypothyroidism.…”

Can mean platelet volume predict the prognosis of patients with community-acquired pneumonia?

“…A decreased MPV has been reported in patients with ulcerative colitis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and acute appendicitis [4][5][6][7]. Furthermore, it also has been reported that hypothyroidism increases MPV values [8]. Thus, it would have been better if the authors had mentioned these MPV-affecting factors in greater detail.…”
