Article Abstract
Objective: Mean platelet volume (MPV), which is determined by a routine complete blood count, is a parameter that is usually overlooked by clinicians. The present study was designed to investigate the association between MPV and different disease states in patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection.
Methods: A total of 120 patients, including 17 with acute hepatitis B (AHB), 62 with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and 41 with chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB), as well as 58 healthy controls (HCs) were enrolled in the study. At study entry, blood samples were collected from all subjects to examine liver function and renal function, determine the international normalized ratio and perform routine hematological tests.
Results: We demonstrated that MPV was significantly increased in CSHB and CHB patients compared with HCs and AHB patients (all P<0.05). Among the patient groups, the CSHB patients had the highest MPV. Increased MPV was clinically associated with severe liver disease.
Conclusions: MPV is significantly increased in chronic HBV-infected patients and is associated with disease severity; thus, it may serve as an important biomarker.

Introduction: Platelet transfusion has been therapeutically used in patients with thrombocytopenia and platelet function defects over the years. The use of advanced techniques may add value in assessing the quality of platelet products. The aim of the study was to assess stored platelet concentrates (PCs) prepared in blood banks for platelet indices, clot strength, and platelet function.

Objective: To analyze the relationship between platelet parameters, morning peak blood pressure (MPBP) in hypertensive patients, and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) gene polymorphisms.
Methods: This study included 245 primary hypertensive patients treated between February 2019 and February 2022, who were divided into two groups based on MPBP status: 144 patients with MPBP and 101 without MPBP. Baseline data and early morning fasting blood samples from the antecubital vein were collected.
