Mean Platelet Volume and Mean Platelet Volume-to-Platelet Ratio and Their Association With Mortality in Patients Undergoing Maintenance Hemodialysis

Paper B Peer reviewed Small trial

Patients with higher platelet volume had more deaths from any cause: 15 deaths vs 4 in the low-volume group. This study was small: 32 patients, and followed for 3 years. Higher platelet volume is a marker of kidney disease severity.
