  Fig. 1. Changes of WBC, RBC, Hb, and RDW in the perioperative period of aortic valve replacement. WBC: White blood cell, RBC: Red blood cell, Hb: hemoglobin, RDW: Red blood cell distribution width.

  Fig. 2. Changes of four platelet factors in the perioperative period of aortic valve replacement. PLT: platelet, MPV: mean platelet volume, PDW: platelet distribution width, and P-LCR: platelet large cell ratio.

  Fig. 3. Comparison of four platelet factors in two groups; HPPG (Peak PG >100 mmHg) vs LPPG (Peak PG <100 mmHg). PLT: platelet, MPV: mean platelet volume, PDW: platelet distribution width, and P-LCR: platelet large cell ratio.

  Fig. 4. (A) Comparison of PCT (plateletcrit) values in two groups; high PCT increasing rate (high) vs low PCT increasing rate (low) before and after surgery. (B) Comparison of four platelet factors between high and low group before surgery. PLT: platelet, MPV: mean platelet volume, PDW: platelet distribution width, and P-LCR: platelet large cell ratio.

  Fig. 5. Transition of five platelet factors in patients not on hemodialysis (HD (–)) or dialysis patients (HD (+)). PLT: platelet count, MPV: mean platelet volume, PDW: platelet distribution width, P-LCR: platelet large cell ratio, and PCT: plateletcrit.

  Fig. 6. (A) Comparison of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), fibrinogen, (B) AST, and ALT in two groups; high PCT increasing rate (High) and low PCT increasing rate (low).
