Overview

Narrative review assesses platelet indices' diagnostic value in gestational hypertension, suggesting clinical utility in resource-limited settings.

Key Points

  • To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of platelet indices in gestational hypertension.
  • Conducted literature search using MeSH and keywords related to pregnancy-induced thrombocytopenia.
  • Utilized databases like PubMed, Google Scholar, EMBASE, and Web of Science.
  • Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) associated with disease severity.
  • Reduced platelet count and plateletcrit (PCT) linked to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes.
