Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and platelet counts of type II diabetes mellitus: a comparative study.

Background: The incidence of cardiovascular disease due to thrombosis is 2-4 folds greater in diabetic patients. Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time and platelet count are hematological indices that give an insight into the coagulation status. Hence, this study aims to assess the coagulation status of type II diabetic patients.
