Does platelet activity play a role in the pathogenesis of idiopathic ischemic priapism?

Int. braz. j. urol; 42 (1), 2016
ABSTRACT Purpose Mean platelet volume (MPV) is used to measure platelet size and is defined as a potential marker of platelet reactivity. Higher MPV levels have been defined as a risk factor for increased incidence of intravascular thrombosis and its associated diseases. We aimed to determine whether a...

Mean platelet volume is associated with glycaemic control and retinopathy in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

West Indian med. j; 62 (6), 2013
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationship between mean platelet volume (MPV) and glycometabolic indices, to compare MPV according to HbA1c levels, and to analyse the difference in MPV between patients with and without microvascular complications. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted on 60 Ty...

Mean platelet volume in nasal polyps

West Indian med. j; 62 (6), 2013
BACKGROUND: Many studies in literature point out that inflammation related to nasal polyp is mostly dependent on eosinophils and their inflammatory products. Beside eosinophils, platelets may have a role in nasal polyp development. Platelets are involved in haemostasis, tissue repairing and inflammation....
