“…Lower MPV values in GDM patients as compared to healthy women were the most important finding of our study, especially in light of the fact that in most previous studies MPV values in GDM patients values were either higher (17,19,20), or the same as in healthy controls (16). Currently, the MPV test is not regarded as a marker of platelet function because of the test results may be affected by the following factors: time from obtaining the specimen until the analysis, the use of anticoagulated tubes, and the lack of a standardized method of measurement (21,22). Taking into consideration of the results of the above-mentioned studies, it seems safe to conclude that -regardless of the MPV values in GDM patients in these studies -the MPV values in GDM samples are not associated directly with the disease, as mentioned before, but are most likely attributable to pre-analytical factors and analytical limits.…”

“…As stated in the literature, MPV values are affected by conditions such as storage conditions, time, temperature difference, characteristics of the device, and long waiting time in ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) tubes. Even when ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) is used, it is known that MPV values increase with the direct effect of EDTA on platelets [23,24,25,26].…”
