Abstract

Background: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder and a major health problem because of its high prevalence and morbidity. Platelets have a key role in development of its thrombogenic complications. Platelet size is considered as a marker and determinant of platelet function with younger, larger platelets exhibiting more reactivity. This study was carried out to compare Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) in subjects with diabetes and non diabetic controls.Method: Total 211 subjects, 105 diabetics and 106 nondiabetic controls were included. MPV, platelet count, blood glucose levels, lipid profile and HbA1c levels were measured and data analyzed by independent “t” test.Result: Mean MPV was significantly higher in the diabetic group compared to the controls (9.94 ± 1.07 fl versus 9.36 ± 0.96 fl; p=.00003). Mean BMI, cholesterol and triglycerides were also significantly higher in the diabetic group. Within the diabetic group, mean MPV, cholesterol and triglycerides were significantly higher in subjects with HbA1c ≥ 6.5% (10.30±0.95fl vs 9.82±1.08fl, p=.03; 206.28±37.17 mg/dl vs 185.07±41.91 mg/dl, p=.026; 176.96 ± 88.54 mg/dl vs 133.19 ± 46.30 mg/dl, p=.002 respectively).Conclusion: High MPV in diabetics may indicate platelet hyperactivity, which may contribute to the vascular complications of type II DM. Thus MPV can be used as a simple, costeffective parameter to assess the probability of developing vascular complications in diabetes.
