Abstract

Background:  Most  Diabetes  Mellitus  related  deaths  are  due  to  increased  risk  of  micro-  and  macrovascular  complications  of  the  disease.  Larger  platelets  with  higher  mean  platelet  volume  increase  the  propensity  to  thrombosis.  Therefore,  increased  MPV  is  emerging  as  a  risk  factor  for  vascular  complications.

Methods:  This  prospective  study  was  conducted  on  100  subjects  with  type  II  DM  and  50  non-diabetic  controls  over  a  period  of  3  months. To  determine  mean  platelet  volume  (MPV)  and  platelet  count  (PC)  in  diabetics  (type2)  and  non-diabetics  and  to  determine  correlation  of  MPV  and  platelet  count  with  fasting  blood  sugar.

Results:  Significant  increase  in  value  of  MPV  was  seen  in  diabetics.

Conclusion:  MPV  being  a  simple,  economical  test,  can  serve  as  an  effective  tool  in  monitoring  the  patients  for  thrombogenicity  especially  in  patients  with  altered  blood  glucose  metabolism.
