Abstract

This study aimed to assess the relationship between platelet volume indices (PVI) and peripheral artery disease (PAD). Platelet count (PLT), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet large cell ratio (P-LCR), and mean platelet volume (MPV) were studied in adult patients with PAD. Two hundred ninety two patients were divided into two groups according to Fontaine classification. Group-1 contained 183 patients with stage I and II with mild symptoms, and the remaining 109 patients referred to the group-2 with severe symptoms. Blood samples were analyzed in a Sysmex SF- 3000 for platelet indices. There were no significant differences between patients in group-1 and group-2 in terms of PVI (P > 0.05). No significant correlation was identified between severity of peripheral vascular disease and PVI in patients with PAD. PVI seem not to associate with severity of PAD.
