Role of Mean Platelet Volume in Diagnosing Severity of Preeclampsia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
Pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH) is the most common disorder of pregnancy affecting approximately 10-17% of pregnancies and is a significant cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality globally. The incidence of PIH in India ranges from 5% to 15%. Profound changes in the coagulation and fibrinolytic system occur during normal pregnancy causing a hypercoagulable state. Recent studies suggest that platelet parameters like platelet indices are markers of platelet activation and are rapid, cheap, most simple and cost effective method for prediction of PIH, way before the appearance of derangements in PT, APTT, TT values. Hence In our study we aimed to investigate the association between severity of preeclampsia and mean platelet volume. In this study MPV was found to be valuable in cases of multigravida subgroup. These indices gives proof of the role of platelet indices in diagnosing severity of preeclampsia and that the peripheral smear alone is not helpful and that these are simple ,easy, rapid and cheap method to incorporate platelet indices in diagnosing preeclampsia.
