Abstract

The second largest cause of long-term morbidity and the second most prevalent stroke worldwide is acute ischemic stroke. Ischemic stroke, which accounts for 80% of all strokes, and hemorrhagic stroke, which may occur intracerebrally or subarachnoidally, are the two primary forms of stroke. Studies have shown that platelets are important in the pathophysiology of cerebral atherothrombotic events and ischemic processes because of their activities in platelet adhesion, release response, and aggregation. Thus, larger MPVs signal a worse future. Increased platelet activation may indicate increased stroke severity. We planned our study to assess and compare MPV in type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with acute ischemic stroke. Our study found that diabetics had statistically larger MPVs. Diabetes and mean platelet volume showed a positive correlation.
