Utility of Platelet Indices (Pi) In Thrombocytopenia - An Institutional Based Two Years Clincopathological Study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Automated hematology analyzers that determine the Mean Platelet Volume (MPV), Platelet Distribution Width (PDW), Plateletcrit (PCT), Platelet Large Cell Ratio (P-LCR) which could be very helpful to facilitate the differential diagnosis of thrombocytopenia and to monitor thrombocytopenic conditions. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Deriving the cause of the thrombocytopenia by clinical and also by measuring the platelet indices. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective observational study of 3,864 thrombocytopenic samples of hemogram analysis by automated haematology analyzers and Static analysis was done. RESULTS: Among the 3,864 cases of thrombocytopenia who were classified into hypo productive (874 cases) and hyper destructive (2,990) group. Most common cause of hypoproductive and hyperdestructive was Megaloblastic anaemia(10.9%) and Dengue(30.2%) respectively. CONCLUSION: Platelet Indices were easy to measure and give a clue to aetiology of thrombocytopenia and it is also very cost effective.
