Relationship between Altered Platelet Morphological Parameters and Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus by Tolga Yilmaz, Ahu Yilmaz

“…Patients were subclassified into three groups according to ocular findings: no DR (group 2; n=88); nonproliferative DR (group 3; n=88), and proliferative DR (group 4; n=86). Mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW), platelet large cell ratio (PLCR), plateletcrit (PCT) values, and platelet count were measured in the studied groups. …”
