Mean platelet volume and nuclear red blood cells in patients with septal deviation

Abstract

Aim Nasal septal deviation is a frequent cause of nasal obstruction and is defined as the displacement of the nasal septum to one side. Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a complete blood count parameter that provides information about the platelet size. Nuclear red blood cells (NRBCs) are the precursor cells of erythrocytes. We aimed to investigate the MPV and NRBCs, which are complete blood count parameters showing changes in hypoxic conditions in the septal deviation patients and people without nasal obstruction.MethodsPatients who underwent an operation due to septal deviation and patients who had a septal deviation, but did not have symptoms were examined retrospectively between January 1st, 2017 and October 30 th, 2017. Our study population was divided into 3 groups: Patients operated for septal deviation, with Septal Deviation but without symptom, without nasal obstruction, Patients who had
blood tests for tinnitus, etc., patients without respiratory complaints during the same period were also included in the study.Results There was no significant difference in the MPV parameters between the group with operation due to septal deviation and the group with nonsymptomatic septal deviation (p = 0,999).
There was no significant difference between MPV parameters between patients with no nasal obstruction and patients with septal deviation. (p = 0,595 and
0,520). In all groups, the NRBCs% parameter was no different from zero except 9 patients.Conclusion It is thought that the MPV and NRBCs parameters in the operation and symptom evaluation of septal deviation patients will not provide any extra findings.
