Evaluation of Thrombocytopenia in Megaloblastic Anemia by Platelet Indices and Megakaryocytes- Comparison with Hypoproduction and Hyperdestruction [PDF]

National Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2017
Introduction: Thrombocytopenia may result from many mechanisms such as: marrow hypoplasia (decreased megakaryocytes), ineffective thrombopoiesis (normal to increased megakaryocytes) and increased destruction of platelets (increased megakaryocytes ...

Importance of platelet indices in the establishment of etiopathological categorization of thrombocytopenia in children

Indian Journal of Health Sciences and Biomedical Research KLEU, 2021
BACKGROUND: Evaluation of thrombocytopenia requires thorough clinical history, examination, complete hemogram, including platelet indices and bone marrow study whenever indicated. The etiopathogenetic mechanism decides patient management.

Platelet parameters may be predictors of coronary artery disease in prediabetes: Rural hospital-based cross-sectional study

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2023
Introduction: Prediabetes is a state of impaired glucose tolerance that often precedes overt diabetes mellitus and is frequently underdiagnosed. Glycation of platelet proteins leads to increased platelet reactivity which can be an essential predisposing ...

Platelet indices in vasculogenic erectile dysfunction [PDF]

International Journal of Impotence Research, 2015
I read the article published by Ciftci et al.1 with great interest. They investigated the mean platelet volume (MPV) values in patients with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction (ED) and nonvasculogenic ED and compared them with controls. They found that MPV and platelet count values were significantly higher in patients with vasculogenic ED than in ...

The Role of Platelet Indices in Predicting Short-Term Mortality in Elderly Patients with Pulmonary Embolism

Journal of Contemporary Medicine, 2021
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the role of platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), plateletcrit, platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet mass index (PMI), and MPV-to-platelet count ratio (MPR) in predicting short-term mortality in ...

Platelet and Red Blood Cell Indices in Harris Platelet Syndrome.

Blood, 2006
Abstract Inherited giant platelet disorders are a group of rare disorders characterized by thrombocytopenia, giant platelets and variable bleeding symptoms. Naina et al., described a new giant platelet disorder called Harris Platelet Syndrome (HPS), the most common inherited giant platelet disorder occurring in up to one third of blood ...

Evaluation of the diagnostic performance of platelet-derived indices for the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia in pediatrics

Revista de la Facultad de Medicina, 2014
Background. Platelet-derived indices have a well-established correlation with the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia in adult-based research. These indices include mean platelet volume, platelet distribution width, and platelet-large cell ratio.

A study to determine utility of platelet indices in differentiating hyperdestructive and hypoproductive thrombocytopenia.

Journal of Pathology of Nepal
Background: Thrombocytopenia by definition signifies a platelet count below 1,50,000/mm3 but this does not reflect the underlying pathology. Management of these patients significantly depends on identifying the primary cause of thrombocytopenia.
