In vivo platelet activation and related pathways may be linked to small airways disease and pulmonary vascular changes in smokers.

Objective Neonatal sepsis is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, particularly in preterm infants. Despite its ...

1 It has been shown that platelet size, when measured as mean platelet volume (MPV), is a marker of platelet function and is positively associated with indicators of platelet activity. An increased ...

A mean platelet volume (MPV) blood test measures the average size of your platelets, the tiny blood cells that help form clots to stop bleeding. It is often included in a complete blood count (CBC) ...

Aim: We evaluated the mean platelet volume (MPV), used as a marker of platelet activation, in asthmatic patients during asymptomatic periods and exacerbations compared to healthy controls to determine ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers examined the stability and clinical utility of complete blood count (CBC) setpoints in advancing personalized risk assessment and ...

On your lab report, you will see the number of platelets (PLT) in your blood, and you may also see the average size (called mean platelet volume or MPV). Platelets are small cell fragments in your ...

For patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, according to a study published online Nov. 8 in ...

Background: Diabetes is a global pandemic. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indicator of increased platelet activity, which is considered to play a role in the development of vascular complications in ...

The role of mean platelet volume (MPV) remains unclear in most types of cancer, with data suggesting elevations in some cancers and other cancer types are associated with depressions. These findings ...

Cryopreserved platelets may reduce bleeding in patients with thrombocytopenia. Researchers sought to determine the predictive value of mean platelet volume as a marker for cancer outcomes.

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a biomarker of platelet function and activity. Platelet activity and aggregation capacity can be determined by measuring mean platelet volume (MPV). MPV is a parameter ...
