Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare platelet parameters between abortus groups with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) (molar pregnancy, invasive mole, choriocarcinoma, etc) and without disease according to pathological result. The study population consisted of patients with GTD (n=53) and aborted patients without disease as a control group (n=53) who were seen in our clinic between January 2010 and December 2013. In this retrospective study, age, gravidity, levels of haemoglobin, white blood cell count, platelets, platelet parameters (mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distrubition width (PDW), platelet crit (PCT), which shows platelet functions were recorded. The pathological diagnosis of GTD was recorded. The mean platelet count, MPV, PDW and PCT levels were similar between the groups. There is no statistically significiant difference between types of GTN in these parameters according to pathological diagnosis. According to our study results, platelet count and levels of MPV, PDW ve PCT in GTD patients were similar to aborted patients without disease.
