Clinical Correlation of Platelet Indices in Preeclamptic Patients without HELLP Syndrome

Abstract

As pregnancy advances, the Platelet Counts decrease while Mean Platelet Volume and Platelet Distribution Width increase, and these kinds of changes are more evident in severe preeclampsia mothers than in non-severe preeclamptic mothers. Thus, Platelet indices could be used as biomarkers for early diagnosis of severity of preeclampsia.
