Evaluation of platelet volume indices as predictive biomarkers of microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes

ConclusionsThe association between MPV, PDW, and PCT and diabetic retinopathy revealed that platelet indices were significantly higher than control group in both NPDR and PDR. However, we did not observe any difference in platelet indices in NPDR and patients without diabetic retinopathy. MPV, PDW, and PCT were higher in individuals with higher HbA1clevel and the correlation was found to be statistically significant.
