Özet
The Editor,
Sir,
With great eagerness, we have read the study in your journal entitled “Mean platelet volume in nasal polyps” by Aktas et al (1). We would like to make some comments about this study. In recent years, many studies, which state there is a significant relation between the decrease of mean platelet volume (MPV)
and inflammatory burden of several diseases, have been published (2–4). Besides this, some studies that search for the relation between nasal polyps and MPV have been reported (1, 5). In the results of these studies, there are conflicting comments about the effect of MPV value to nasal polyps. Although a good number of assertive results have been announced in
these studies, sufficient usage area of MPV value measurement has not occurred in the follow-up and treatment of patients clinically as there is no fully standardized method of this parameter.
