The change of mean platelet volume and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio one year after iniation of peritoneal dialysis

Abstract

Aim: Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of mortality in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis. Thrombocyte indices which are indicators of platelet activation are predictors of cardiovascular events. We aim to examine the change in platelet count, mean platelet volume, and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio one year after initiation of peritoneal dialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 28 patients. Demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients at the time of initiation of peritoneal dialysis were recorded from the patient files. Laboratory data within the last month before the initiation of peritoneal dialysis and in the first year were recorded from the patient files. The mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio was calculated as mean platelet volume (femtolitres) divided by platelet count (number of thousand platelets/microliter). Results: The mean age was 51.1 ± 14.6 years, and 42.8% of the patients were male. Diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy were the most common causes of end-stage renal disease. One year after the initiation of peritoneal dialysis, the urea level decreased significantly, and C-reactive protein level increased significantly. Platelet count increased from 240 ± 55 x10 3 /μL to 274 ± 53 x10 3 /μL (p=0.003) and mean platelet volume decreased from 10.7 ± 1.0 fl to 10.2 ± 0.8 fl (p<0.001). There was a significant decrease in mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio (p=0.001). Conclusion: Mean platelet volume and mean platelet volume to platelet count ratio, which are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, decreases one year after initiation of peritoneal dialysis. This finding may be associated with the improvement of the uremic environment.
