[Analysis the relationship of mean platelet volume and nasal obstructive disease].
OBJECTIVE
High mean platelet volume (MPV) values are a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Our aim was to investigate the association between nasal obstructive disease and MPV value.


METHODS
This study included 40 patients with nasal obstructive disease and 30 age-and sex-matched healthy subjects as controls. The levels of the number of platelets, MPV, platelet distribution width (PDW) were evaluated and compared in the two groups. Then the MPV was compared in the patients before and after operation in the study group.


RESULTS
Platelet count is significantly lower in the study group than the control group [(215.0 ± 47.5) x 10(9)/L versus (237.8 ± 46.2) x 10(9)/L]; MPV and PDW is significantly higher in the study group [(10.7 ± 0.7) fL versus (10.3 ± 0.8) fL]; [(12.9 ± 2.0) % versus (12.0 ± 1.3) %]. Comparing to preoperation, MPV values of the study group is significantly decreased after nasal obstructive operations [(10.7 ± 0.7) fL versus (10.4 ± 0.6) fL].


CONCLUSIONS
MPV levels are elevated in patients with nasal obstructive disease, and can be decreased by nasal obstructive operation.
