mean platelet volume; non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is an indictor of platelet activation. Platelet activation and aggregation are central processes in the pathophysiology of coronary heart disease. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is present up to one-third of the general population and the majority of patients with cardio-metabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity, type 2 diabetes and other components of the metabolic syndrome (MS). The aim of the current study was to investigate the MPV in patients who had NAFLD. MPV values of the patients with NAFLD and of the patients without fatty liver disease were compared. NAFLD patients had significantly higher body mass index compared to the control cases Among biochemical variables, fasting plasma glucose and triglyceride were significantly higher in the NAFLD group. NAFLD cases also had lower platelet count and higher MPV (10 43 +/- 1.14 vs 9 09 +/- 1.25; p < 0 00 1, respectively) MPV was positively correlated with AST (r 0.186, p<0 042), ALT level (r: 0 279; p 0 002) and the presence of NAFLD (0 492, p<0 001) but negatively correlated with platelet number (r. -0 26; p 0 004) and creatinine (r: -0.255, p 0 005). In logistic regression analysis (age, gender, NAFLD, body mass index, high-density lipid (HDL) cholesterol, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride and fasting plasma glucose were used as covariates) only NAFLD was found to be the independent predictor of MPV (Odds Ratio (OR) 21.98) [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.404-201 048, p: 0 006]. We have shown for the first time in the literature that, patients with NAFLD have higher MPV. It may have prognostic value in NAFLD patients indicating a possible cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk increase.
