Mean Platelet Volume and Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio as New Markers of Preeclampsia Severity
Abstract
Introduction:
This study was undertaken to examine the role of
hematological parameters in predicting the severity of hypertension in
pre-eclamptic women.
Patients
and Methods: Two hundred sixty-one pre-eclamptic women and
fifty-one women with normal pregnancy were included in the study. The severity
of preeclampsia was classified as mild or severe.
Results:
Compared to post-delivery period, pre-eclamptic
females had lower platelet count, raised mean platelet volume and raised
neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (p< 0.001, p< 0.001, p< 0.001,
respectively). Multiple linear regression analysis showed an independent
correlation between the severity of hypertension and mean platelet volume as
well as the neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (β= 0.25, p< 0.001; β= 0.31, p<
0.001, respectively).
Conclusion:
Both mean platelet volume and neutrophil lymphocyte
ratio emerged as independent predictors of the severity of hypertension in
preeclampsia.
