Why the study?
Does significant weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy reduce RDW and MPV levels in morbidly obese patients?
Does significant weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy reduce RDW and MPV levels in morbidly obese patients?
Significant weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is associated with reductions in RDW and MPV, suggesting a potential decrease in systemic inflammation and cardiovascular risk.
LSG effects on RDW and MPV need validation; leaves open their role as post-bariatric inflammatory markers.
Aim: Elevated red blood cell distribution width (RDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) levels which are closely associated with chronic inflammation and platelet aggregation are suggested as independent predictors of obesity and cardiovascular diseases. However influence of significant weight loss following bariatric surgery on these parameters is unknown. Therefore we aimed to find out the effect of significant weight loss following laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) on RDW and MPV levels.
