Introduction and objective: Platelets play an important role in the development of thrombotic events. Increase of mean platelet volume (MPV) may indicate pre-thrombotic conditions as a new cardiovascular marker. Larger platelets have been reported to be metabolically more active than smaller ones. Our aim of present study is to evaluate MPV levels in patients with papillary thyroid cancer.Materials and methods: Forty-seven patients with newly diagnosis m...

Background: Differential thyroid cancer (DTC) is classified into papillary, follicular and papillary micro thyroid cancer. Also, mean platelet volume (MPV) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate MPV values in DTC patients.Materials and methods: The levels of MPV were assessed in 183 patients with DTC 44 papillary thyroid cancer (mean age 43.±13.9) 34 papillary micro thyroid cancer (m...

Aim: Radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation therapy is used as part of the treatment for hyperthyroidism. Recently, low dose applied 131I treatment for hyperthyroidism has decreased the need for thyroidectomy. The aim of this study was to evaluate serum fasting glucose (FG) values in pre and post treatment RAI patients.Materials and Methods: Thirty-two patients with hyperthyroidism (mean age 56.0±14.5 years; range 24–83) treated with a si...

Introduction and objective: Recently, a lot of studies associated with high mean platelet level (MPV) in patients with hypo- and hyperthyroidism has reported in medical litherature. But it is not clear whether or not radioactive iodine treatment effect on platelet activity. It is well known that elevated platelet size is associated with its high enzymatic and metabolic activity. Aim of our preliminary study is to determine the platelet size via MPV level in hyperthyroid patien...

Introduction: Neutrophil lymphocyte rate (NLO), which is obtained from peripheric blood and used as mathematical rates of lymphocyte numbers, is accepted as available and practical indicator of systemic inflammation existence. We aimed to search NLO between Hashimoto’s thyroids patients who have autoimmune thyroid and also include an aetiopathogenesis auto-inflammatory process, and healthy control group with this study.Method: 59 patients who have b...

Introduction and aims: Subacute thyroiditis (ST) is a spontaneous remitting inflammatory disease of thyroid gland. Although there is no clear evidence for its specific etiology, multiple factors may responsible for this inflammatory reaction. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a new important inflammatory marker that indicates disease activity. Aim of this study is to evaluate MPV value in patients with subacute thyroiditis.Materials and methods: Thirty-one p...

Aim: Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are prognostic markers of differentiated thyroid cancers. In our study we evaluated NLR, PLR and C-reactive protein for predicting the occurence of differentiated thyroid cancer. This is the first study that compares NLR and PLR to C-reactive protein indifferantiated thyroid cancer not only papillary cancer but also folliculer cancer.Materials and Method: This study includes 51 pa...
