Objective: To investigate the parameters of platelet in children with idopathic
thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
Methods:
The values of platelet count, mean platelet
volume (MPV), platelecrit (PCT), platelet distribution width (PDW) were
measured in 40 children with ITP and 38 normal controls.
Results:
Compared with control group, the values of MPV were
higher, PCT were lower in children with ITP (P<0.05). There were no statistically difference in PDW. But there were
no significant differences in these values between ITP children in recovery
stage and control group .The abnormalities of the platelet parameters becomes
significant with the procession of ITP stages. The platelet count is
negative associated with the values of MPV, positive associated with the
values of PCT (P<0.05).
Conclusion:
In addition to the changes of platelet count,
there is abnormality of MPV and PCT in children with ITP. It is helpful to
measure MPV and PCT in children with ITP.
