Abstract EN
Objective.
Acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI) is a disease, usually seen in elderly people and accompanied by comorbid diseases.
Mean platelet volume (MPV), the significant indicator of platelet activation and function, is associated with AMI.
In this study, we considered that we can use MPV as a reliable indicator in the diagnosis of AMI.
Methods.
This study was conducted among AMI patients with two control groups.
Age, gender, MPV, platelet count, concomitant diseases, abdominal computed tomography, and patient outcomes were recorded for evaluation.
Control group I contained 41 healthy patients whose ages-genders were matched.
Control group II contained 41 patients with no AMI, whose ages-genders-concomitant diseases were matched.
Results.
Of the total 41 AMI patients, 22 were female and 19 were male.
The average age of them was 72.12±13.2 (44–91) years.
MPV was significantly increased in the AMI (p=0.001) and control group II (p<0.001) in comparison with healthy control groups.
In the comparison of the AMI patients with their matched controls for concomitant diseases, no statistical difference was found in the MPV values.
Conclusion.
MPV may be used as an indicator of AMI only if the patient has no concomitant diseases.
The existence of a concomitant disease brings into question the reliability of high MPV values as a suitable indicator.
