Elevated MPV levels have been linked to various diseases, including cardiovascular diseases and diabetes-related complications. Research has shown that MPV levels are higher in patients with uncontrolled diabetes than in those with controlled diabetes; multiple theories have been proposed to explain this observation. The relationship between MPV and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels is a subject of debate, with some studies showing no association, while others have demonstrated a correlation between the two. The scientific community has focused on investigating MPV as an inflammatory marker of diabetes mellitus and obesity. MPV may serve as a useful diagnostic tool for detecting thrombotic complications in conjunction with Platelet Distribu.. Read More»
