Abstract
Background: Diabetes is a chronic insidious disorder. Platelet Indices are group of parameters which consists of MPV, PDW, P-LCR, Platelet Crit, and Platelet Count. They all correlate with the activity of platelets. Hence this study aims to estimate the platelet indices amongst subjects suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: The present study enrolled 150 patients reporting to the Department of Medicine in association with Departments of Biochemistry and Pathology. Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension or on insulin or any other antiplatelet drugs were not included in the study. Platelet indices like MPV, PDW, Platelet Crit. P-LCR and Platelet Count were estimated. Clinical and laboratory features of the subjects were assessed for platelet indices and HbA1c values. All the data was arranged in a tabulated form and analyzed using SPSS software. Results: The controlled group of diabetes which was HbA1c ≤ 7 were 64 and were labelled as Group A and uncontrolled group with HbA1c >7 were 86 and were labelled as Group B. The MPV amongst Group A subjects was 8.72±0.74 and Group B subjects was 10.39±1.29. The PDW amongst Group A subjects was 10.32±1.59 and amongst Group B subjects was 14.70±5.48. Conclusion: According to our study subjects with diabetes had higher mean platelet indices as compare to normal subjects.
