Abstract Background Altered mean platelet volume (MPV) and plasma albumin has been reported in type 2 diabetes (T2D). MPV is suggested to predict cardiovascular risk but there is a lack of evidence for associations between MPV and platelet adhesion. Plasma albumin and magnesium are other factors reported to influence thrombotic risk. The objectives of this study were to assess the association between platelet adhesion and plasma factors with a potential role to affect platelet activation. Methods Blood was collected from 60 T2D patients and 60 healthy controls. Platelet adhesion to different protein surfaces induced by various soluble activators were measured in microplates. MPV, albumin and magnesium were analysed together with additional routine tests. Results Despite normal levels, plasma albumin significantly correlated with adhesion of T2D platelets but not with controls. There was a significant association between MPV and platelet adhesion in both groups, but association was smaller in T2D. Levels of glucose, HbA1c or magnesium did not correlate with platelet adhesion. Conclusions Plasma albumin was associated with platelet adhesion in T2D suggesting that albumin may be a factor to consider upon cardiovascular risk assessment. MPV was more associated with the level of platelet adhesion in healthy individuals than in well-controlled T2D patients. |
