The Value of Combined Detection of Megakaryocyte and Platelet Parameters for the Diagnosis of Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia.

To investigate the application value of bone marrow megakaryocyte count, the proportion of megakaryocytes at each stage, and the platelet parameter in the clinical diagnosis of primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The megakaryocyte and platelet parameter level in 62 ITP and 40 control group patients were compared and analyzed. Linear correlation analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and ROC curves were performed for the correlation between megakaryocytes and platelet parameters. Compared to the control group, the total number of megakaryocytes, the promegakaryocytes the granular megakaryocytes (GMeg), and naked megakaryocytes (NMeg), MPV, and P-LCR% in the ITP group increased. All differences were statistically significant (<0.05). While the proportion of platelet-producing megakaryocytes (PMeg), PLT, and PCT decreased in the ITP group. These differences were statistically significant ( 0.05). PLT was strongly positively correlated with PCT (r = 0.921, p<0.01). PCT was weakly positively with MPV (r = 0.309, p<0.05). MPV was positively correlated with P-LCR (r = 0.856, p<0.01). PDW was weakly positively correlated with P-LCR (r = 0.296, p<0.05) and Meg (r = 0.301, p<0.05), and negatively correlated with PMeg (r = -0.336, p<0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that PLT, PCT MPV and P-LCR% gave a high sensitivity（100.0%，81.0%，74.6%，90.5%，respectively.) and specificity (100.0%, 92.5%, 80.0%, 77.5%, respectively.) in diagnosis of ITP. The combined analysis of bone marrow megakaryocyte count, the proportion of megakaryocyte classification at each stage, and platelet parameters have an important reference value for auxiliary diagnosis of ITP.
