EVALUATION OF MEAN PLATELET VOLUME AND 25 HYDROXY VITAMIN D LEVELS IN GESTATIONAL DIABETIC WOMEN

Abstract

Aim: According to few studies which tried to evaluate mean platelet volume (MPV) and 25 hydroxy vitamin D, have shown conflicting results in gestational diabetic patients. In this study we aimed to compare main platelet volume and 25 hydroxy vitamin D values between gestational diabetic patients and healty individual pregnant womens. Material and method: The patients were selected from 24-28 weeks pregnant people who made gestational diabetes screening and oral glucose tolerance test from obstetric-gynecology, diabetes and endocrinology polyclinics of Okmeydanı Training and Research Hospital. After the searching 52 gestational diabetic patients and 52 healty pregnant women included to the study. We estimated MPV and vitamin D level. In addition, demographic and clinical data of subjects were recorded. Results: Mean platelet volume (MPV) value was found 8,5 ± 1,0 fl and 8,3 ± 1,1 fl. in gestational diabetic and control group respectively. There was no statistically significant differences in MPV value between case and the control group (p>0.05). Mean 25 hydroxy vitamin D value was found 20.5 ± 11.0 ng/ml and 21,1 ± 9,3 ng/ml. gestational diabetic and control group respectively. There was no statistically significant differences in 25 hydroxy (OH) vitamin D value between case and control group. Conclusion: In our study we found no statistically significant differences in MPV and 25-OH vitamin D values between gastational diabetic pregnant group and healty pregnant group.
