Background: The relationships between thyroid hormones (TH) and platelets (PLT) have not been fully established.

On the other hand, subclinical hypothyroidism has been frequently associated with hypercoagulability, in particular mean platelet volume (MPV), a marker of platelet activation, has been found higher in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. A possible pro...
