Relationship of ovarian volume with mean platelet volume and lipid profile in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between ovarian volume (OV) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormonal parameters and lipid profile of cases, and their relationship to OV were also assessed. Bilateral OV of 210 newly diagnose...

Description
Summary:The aim of the present study was to evaluate the relationship between ovarian volume (OV) and mean platelet volume (MPV) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Hormonal parameters and lipid profile of cases, and their relationship to OV were also assessed. Bilateral OV of 210 newly diagnosed PCOS patients and 100 healthy non-hirsute women were measured by ultrasonography. Blood samples were obtained for full blood count, hormone levels and for lipid profiles. It was found that MPV increased gradually as OV increased. This implies a higher risk of hypercoagulability and therefore an increased risk of future cardiovascular disease.
