All participants underwent carotid ultrasonography for the evaluation of CA. LCI was calculated as [TC × TG × LDL-C/HDL-C].

While their impact on hemoglobin and hematocrit levels is increasingly recognized, the influence of SGLT2 inhibitors on mean platelet volume (MPV), a surrogate marker of platelet activation and cardiovascular risk, remains underexplored in HFrEF patients. While SGLT2 inhibitors' effects on MPV have been studied in DM, this is the first study examining MPV changes specifically in HFrEF patients with adjustment for diuretic therapy. This retrospective study included 80 HFrEF patients receiving guideline-directed medical therapy to which SGLT2 inhibitors were subsequently added. Baseline and 6-month follow-up data on hematological and biochemical parameters were collected. Exclusion criteria included active infection, malignancy, advanced renal failure, hematologic disorders, and recent transfusions. MPV and platelet counts were analyzed using standardized protocols and equipment. Following 6 months of SGLT2 inhibitor therapy, MPV values decreased significantly (p < 0.05), while platelet counts increased significantly (p < 0.05). Although hemoglobin and hematocrit levels showed upward trends, these changes were not statistically significant. No significant correlation was observed between ΔMPV and ΔPLT. Other biochemical markers remained stable throughout the study period. SGLT2 inhibitor therapy was associated with a significant reduction in MPV and an increase in platelet count among patients with HFrEF.

A 62-year-old man developed acute gastroenteritis following seafood ingestion and rapidly progressed to bacteremia with severe thrombocytopenia, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, acute kidney injury, and neurological impairment. Laboratory evaluation revealed  ~ 3% schistocytes, markedly elevated lactate dehydrogenase, indirect hyperbilirubinemia, preserved coagulation parameters, and a negative direct Coombs test. The PLASMIC score indicated a high probability of severe ADAMTS13 deficiency. Given the classical clinical presentation, urgent plasma exchange (PLEX) was initiated, resulting in rapid and sustained hematologic and clinical recovery. Blood cultures confirmed Vibrio parahaemolyticus, and targeted ciprofloxacin therapy was administered. Although ADAMTS13 activity testing was unavailable, the constellation of findings and dramatic response to PLEX strongly support a diagnosis of TTP triggered by Vibrio bacteremia. This case highlights the importance of early recognition of TTP-like TMA, even when triggered by uncommon pathogens, and demonstrates the lifesaving role of prompt PLEX therapy.</p>","PeriodicalId":13662,"journal":{"name":"Internal and Emergency Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"2197-2200"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147473514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
