ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Beta-thromboglobulin and platelet factor 4 are known platelet-specific proteins that are stored in the platelet alpha-granules and released during platelet activation. The measurement of these proteins can reflect the degree of platelet activation and indirectly suggest a pro-thrombotic state. This study aimed at determining serum levels of Betathromboglobulin, mean platelet volume, and platelet factor 4 in diabetes mellitus and control subjects in Lagos, Nigeria. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, this study evaluated serum concentrations of Beta-thromboglobulin, and platelet factor 4, the mean platelet volume was also determined from a Full Blood Count of all participants. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Inc., Chicago, Ill; version 26.0. The continuous variables were given as mean ± standard deviation. The P-value was considered to be statistically significant when ≤0.05.

RESULTS:

Beta-thromboglobulin concentration was higher and statistically significant (7.82 ± 1.54ng/ml and 6.70 ± 2.23 ng/ml; P = 0.01), platelet factor 4 (39.86 ± 11.25 ng/ml and 47.73 ± 21.73ng/ml, P = 0.06) and mean platelet volume (10.26± 1.06fl and 10.29 ± 1.02fl P = 0.89) were not statistically significant in the diabetes mellitus group compared with non-diabetic participants, platelet factor 4 was higher in the older than younger diabetes mellitus participants.

CONCLUSION:

Elevated Beta-thromboglobulin may suggest a possible increase in thrombotic risks among diabetes mellitus.
CONTEXTE La bêta-thromboglobuline et le facteur plaquettaire 4 sont des protéines spécifiques des plaquettes qui sont stockées dans les alpha-granules plaquettaires et libérées lors de l'activation des plaquettes. La mesure de ces protéines peut refléter le degré d'activation des plaquettes et suggérer indirectement un état prothrombotique. Cette étude visait à déterminer les taux sériques de bêta-thromboglobuline, le volume plaquettaire moyen et le facteur plaquettaire 4 chez des sujets atteints de diabète sucré et des sujets témoins à Lagos, au Nigéria. MATÉRIEL ET MÉTHODES En utilisant le dosage immunoenzymatique au Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, cette étude a évalué les concentrations sériques de bêtathromboglobuline et de facteur plaquettaire 4, le volume plaquettaire moyen a également été déterminé à partir d'une numération globulaire complète de tous les participants. Les données ont été analysées à l'aide du logiciel Statistical Package for Social Sciences, Inc, Chicago,Ill ; version 26.0. Les variables continues ont été exprimées en moyen ± écart-type. La valeur P a été considérée comme statistiquement significative lorsqu'elle était inférieure à ≤0,05. RÉSULTATS La concentration de bêta-thromboglobuline était plus élevée et statistiquement significative (7,82±1,54ng/ml et 6,70±2,23 ng/ml ; P=0,01), le facteur plaquettaire 4 (39,86±11,25 ng/ml et 47,73±21,73 ng/ml, P=0,06) et le volume plaquettaire moyen (10. 26± 1.06fl et 10.29±1.02fl P= 0.89) n'étaient pas statistiquement significatifs dans le groupe diabète sucré par rapport aux participants non-diabétiques, le facteur plaquettaire 4 était plus élevé chez les participants diabétiques plus âgés que chez les plus jeunes.

CONCLUSION:

Un taux élevé de bêta-thromboglobuline peutsuggérer une augmentation possible des risques thrombotiques chez les personnes atteintes de diabète sucré. Mots-clés Bêta-thromboglobuline, facteur plaquettaire 4, volume plaquettaire moyen.
