Abstract

Giriş: B12 vitamin eksikliğinin; kan tetkiklerine, ortalama trombosit hacmine (MPV) ve inflamasyon markerlarından nötrofil-lenfosit oranına (NLR) etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Çalışmamız 375 hasta üzerinde yapılmıştır. B12’si düşük (<130 pg/dL) saptanan 170 hasta deney grubu olarak, B12 düzeyleri normal olan 205 kişide kontrol grubu olarak kabul edilmiştir. Bu iki grup arasında beyaz kan hücreleri (WBC), trombosit sayısı (Plt), hemoglobin (Hgb), ortalama eritrosit hacmi (MCV), MPV, nötrofil, lenfosit sayıları ve nötrofil-lenfosit oranları (NLR) incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması B12 eksik grupta 48.45 ±17.497 yıl, kontrol grubunda ise 51.93 ±16.175 yıl idi. Eksik grupta B12vitamini ortalaması 101,41 ± 20,50 pg/mL (min-max; 37-130), kontrol grubunda ise 257,24 ± 88,13 pg/mL (min-max; 131-498) idi. WBC, Hgb, Plt, nötrofil, lenfosit, MVC, MPV ve NLR arasında istatiksel açıdan anlamlı bir fark olmadığı gözlendi.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda B12 eksikliği ile kan tetkikleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulamadık. Önceki çalışmalarda B12 eksikliğinde MPV değerlerinin etkilendiğine dair bilgiler bulunmaktadır. Yaptığımız çalışmada da B12 eksikliği ile MPV ve NLR arasında anlamlı bir ilişkinin olmadığını saptadık (p>0,05). B12 eksikliğinin, düzeyi ve süresi uzadıkça nasıl değişiklikler gözlenebileceği ve özellikle de bu vitamin eksikliğinin aterojenik olaylara olan etkileri hakkında yapılacak yeni çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

Abstract

Introduction: It was aimed to investigate the effects of vitamin B12 deficiency on blood tests, mean platelet volume (MPV), and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), which is one of the inflammation markers.

Methods: Our study is a case-control study of 375 patients. 170 patients with low B12 (<130 pg/dL) were accepted as the experimental group, and 205 individuals with normal B12 levels were accepted as the control group. Between these two groups, white blood cells (WBC), platelet count (Plt), hemoglobin (Hgb), mean erythrocyte volume (Mean Corpuscular Volume-MCV), mean platelet volume (Mean Platelet Volume-MPV), neutrophil, lymphocyte counts, and neutrophil -lymphocyte ratios (NLR) were examined.

Results: The mean age was 48.45 ±17.497 years in the B12 deficient group and 51.93 ±16.175 years in the control group. The mean of vitamin B12 in the deficient group was 101.41 ± 20.50 pg/mL (min-max 37-130), while it was 257.24 ± 88.13 pg/mL (131–498) in the control group. It was observed that there was no statistically significant difference between WBC, Hgb, Plt, neutrophil, lymphocyte, MVC, MPV and NLR values.

Conclusion: In our study, we could not find a significant relationship between B12 deficiency and blood tests. In previous studies, there has been information that MPV values are affected by B12 deficiency. In our study, we found that there was no significant relationship between B12 deficiency and MPV or NLR (p > 0.05). There is a need for new studies on how B12 deficiency will change as the degree and duration of B12 deficiency increases, especially its effect on atherogenic events.
