Study of Impact of Glycemic Status (HbA1c) on Platelet Activity measured by Mean Platelet Volume & Vascular Complications in Diabetics.

Conclusion: Our results showed significantly higher MPV in diabetic patients with higher HbA1C (poor glycemic control). This indicates that elevated MPV could be either the cause for or due to the effect of the vascular complications. Hence, platelets may play a role and MPV can be used as a simple parameter to assess the vascular events in diabetes. PMID: 31309791 [PubMed - in process]
