Background: Vitamin D deficiency and a high mean platelet volume (MPV) are related to
cardiovascular disease. We investigated whether vitamin D deficiency is associated with …

There is little published data on the association of platelet function and 25 (OH) D
concentration. We investigated the associations between mean platelet volume (MPV) and …

Background and aims: Vitamin D deficiency and increased platelet indices are associated
with increased rate or risk of several diseases such as cardiovascular disease and …

We read with interest the papers of Demirin et al.[1] and Lippi et al.[2] who investigated the
mean platelet volume (MPV) in large healthy populations and obtained divergent results …

Introduction Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet (PLT) count are the two major
parameters that reflect the functions and activities of PLTs. The associations of MPV and PLT …

AIM: Mean platelet volume (MPV) in the healthy population has not been studied before.
Therefore, the aim of the study was to measure MPV in normal subjects in a large cohort of …

Several hundreds of studies recently investigated mean platelet volume (MPV) as measured
by electronic cell counters in a wide variety of acquired diseases, and most of them found …

Most laboratories use EDTA for anticoagulation of whole blood prior to automated cell
counting but due to platelet swelling, mean platelet volume (MPV) values may increase with …

Results: Between vitamin D deficient and non-deficient groups there were significant
differences in PLR (p< 0.001) and NLR (p= 0.001). Vitamin D had a significant negative …

Introduction: Large platelets are more thrombogenic and thus put the patient at a higher risk
status. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a determinant of platelet functionality and increased …
