INTRODUCTION: Acute @entity2679 is an @entity2679 . Ultrasonography (US) is the initial and the most valuable method in the diagnosis of acute @entity2679 . Also, laboratory findings are used to support the diagnosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of mean platelet volume ( @entity6688 ) and platelet (PLT) counts in @entity1 with acute @entity2679 . MATERIALS AND METHODS: From January to August 2014, the medical records of @entity1 were reviewed for the diagnosis of acute @entity2679 . The study included 60 age-matched @entity1 with acute @entity2679 and 60 healthy individuals as a control group. @entity1 with a @entity102 were excluded from the study. Over all, @entity1 with acute @entity2679 and @entity1 in the control group were evaluated for their @entity6688 , PLT count, platelet distribution width (PDW), @entity1423 ( @entity1423 ) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) in a complete blood count (CBC). RESULTS: The @entity6688 values were found to be significantly lower in the acute @entity2679 group when compared to the control group. The PDW and @entity1423 were found to be significantly higher in the acute @entity2679 group when compered to the control group. When a correlation test was performed, @entity6688 was negatively correlated with PLT and @entity1423 counts. CONCLUSION: US is the initial and the most important imaging method for diagnosing and evaluating the biliary system. Also, laboratory findings such as WBC, ESR and CRP support the diagnosis but may have some undesirable limitations. However, @entity6688 is an acute phase reactant that does not require an additional cost because it is already worked in the CBC. Therefore, @entity6688 can be used as a marker in diagnosing inflammatory diseases.

Is the Mean Platelet Volume in XXXX with Acute Cholecystitis an Inflammatory Marker?
