ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a systemic inflammatory disease. We aimed to detect whether there was a change of mean platelet volume (MPV) level on onset and remission patients with biliary and non-biliary acute pancreatitis. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In our emergency service patients diagnosed with biliary and nonbiliary AP were analyzed retrospectively. Laboratory results measured in onset and remission were recorded and compared.RESULTS:
Total number of patients enrolled in our study was 331 (177 female). 194 cases were classified as biliary and 137 were as non-biliary AP. Average age and numbers of female patients of biliary cases were higher than that of nonbiliary cases. Initial MPV values were lower than remission values in all patients with AP. In biliary group initial MPV was 8.42 ± 1.04 and remission value was 8.71 ± 1.12. In nonbiliary group initial MPV was 8.07 ± 1.02 and remission value was 8.4 ± 1.06. In both groups on onset had lower mean MPV levels than those in remission (P = 0.0001 both of them).CONCLUSIONS:
MPV values were higher than initial values in remission period in patients both of groups. MPV was lower in non-biliary AP group than biliary AP group that can be an indicator of early-onset infection.Palavras-chave
