Assessment of plasma level of D-dimer, platelets, and MPV in myocardial infarction patients
Abstract
Myocardial infarction disease is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. D-dimer was previously only utilized as a marker in venous thromboembolism and aortic dissection, and types of research on its significance in MI diagnosis have been undertaken. This study aims to assess D- dimer plasma level &platelets and MPV among myocardial infarction patients. Fifty Sudanese patients with myocardial infarction were enrolled as the case group, and fifty healthy individuals of various ages were included as the control group. D- dimer was measured using an immunodetection technique in both groups, whereas platelet counts and MPV were measured using a cell counter. (automated hematology analyzer Sysmex KX-21N). When patient and control samples were analyzed, it was observed that MPV and D- dimer had a highly significant relationship (P-value 0.001), whereas platelet count has a significant correlation (P-value 0.001). (P-value 0.05). Also, there is a significant association between patient age groups, platelet count, and D dimers. The D-dimer, platelet count, and MPV were considered as risk factors and diagnostic values for MI.
