The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio was significantly higher in pregnant women with intrahepatic cholestasis compared to the healthy controls, 3.93 (0.46-13.75) and 4.25 (0.87-17.1), respectively. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups for mean platelet volume (p <0.001). In the roc analysis, 8.85 fL for mean platelet volume had a sensitivity of 65% and a specificity of 59%.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> When compared with healthy pregnancies, mean platelet volume value in gestational cholestasis increases significantly. However, the predictive strength of mean platelet volume for cholestasis is not strong enough to recommend its usage as a single parameter in clinical practice.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Gynecology Obstetrics & Reproductive Medicine}, author={Eroglu, Hasan and Tolunay, Harun Egemen and Sarsmaz, Kemal and Orgul, Gokcen and Sahin, Dilek and Yucel, Aykan}, year={2021}, month={Aug.}, pages={105–108} }
