Abstract

Objective
Plateletcrit (PCT) and mean platelet volume (MPV)
are important platelet indices that are associated
with various systemic and inflammatory disorders.
The aims of this study are, first to determine normal
ranges of PCT in a healthy population and second,
evaluation of the possible link between blood groups
and two platelet indices, PCT and MPV.
Material and Method
One thousand five hundred healthy subjects were
chosen for the study from 2011 to 2021 retrospectively.
Hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume,
leukocyte count, leukocyte differentials, MPV, PCT
and platelet counts were analysed.
Results
In 1082 subjects, the mean PCT count was 0.20±0.04
% (min 0.11-max 0.46 %) and mean MPV was
8.41±0.92 fL (min 6.20-max 11.90 fL). The mean
PCT, MPV and platelet counts of the study group were
found to be significantly higher in women than in men
(p<0.001). PCT and platelet counts were inversely
related to age and mean PCT was significantly
higher in 18-40 than 41-60 age group (p=0.021).
There was no association between ABO groups and
platelet indices. When blood groups were separated
according to their Rh status; it was found that subjects
who were Rh positive had a significantly higher mean
PCT and platelet count than Rh negatives (p=0.003
and p=0.006).
Conclusion
Mean PCT was 0.20 %. Women had significantly
higher PCT, and platelet counts compared to men
and these counts were significantly lower compared to
other studies in our country. There was no association
between ABO groups and platelet indices. PCT and
platelet counts were significantly higher in Rh positive
study subjects compared to Rh negatives.

SAĞLIKLI TÜRK NÜFUSUNDA KAN GRUPLARI İLE PLATELETKRİTİN İLİŞKİSİ

Abstract

Amaç
Plateletkrit (PCT) ve ortalama trombosit hacmi (MPV),
çeşitli sistemik ve inflamatuar bozukluklarla ilişkili
önemli trombosit göstergeleridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı,
öncelikle sağlıklı popülasyonda normal PCT aralıklarının
belirlenmesi ve ikincil olarak kan grupları ile
PCT ve MPV arasındaki olası bağlantının değerlendirilmesidir.
Gereç ve Yöntem
Çalışma için, 2011’den 2021’e kadar, retrospektif olarak,
bin beş yüz sağlıklı birey seçildi. Hemoglobin, hematokrit,
ortalama alyuvar hacmi, lökosit sayısı, lökosit
farklılıkları, MPV, PCT ve trombosit sayıları analiz
edildi.
Bulgular
1082 denekte ortalama PCT 0,20±0,04 % (min 0,11-
maks 0,46 %) ve ortalama MPV 8,41±0,92 fL (min
6,20-maks 11,90 fL) idi. Çalışma grubunun ortalama
PCT, MPV ve trombosit düzeyleri kadınlarda erkeklere
göre anlamlı derecede yüksek bulundu (p<0,001).
PCT ve trombosit sayıları yaşla ters orantılıydı ve ortalama
PCT 18-40 yaş grubunda, 41-60 yaş grubuna
göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti (p=0,021). ABO grupları
ile trombosit indeksleri arasında ilişki yoktu. Kan
grupları Rh durumlarına göre ayrıldığında; Rh pozitif
olan deneklerin ortalama PCT ve trombosit sayısının
Rh negatif olanlara göre anlamlı derecede yüksek olduğu
bulundu (p=0,003 ve p=0,006).
Sonuç
Ortalama PCT 0,20 % idi. Kadınlarda PCT ve trombosit
sayıları erkeklere göre anlamlı derecede yüksekti
ve bu değerler, ülkemizdeki diğer çalışmalara göre
anlamlı derecede düşüktü. ABO grupları ile trombosit
indeksleri arasında ilişki yoktu. PCT ve trombosit
sayıları, Rh negatif olanlara kıyasla Rh pozitif çalışma
deneklerinde önemli ölçüde daha yüksekti.
