Purpose

Hypertriglyceridemia-induced acute pancreatitis (HTG-AP) during pregnancy is a rare but severe disease with high maternal-fetal mortality risk, which constitutes a systemic inflammatory process accompanied by thrombosis and bleeding disorders. However, the role of mean platelet volume (MPV) in HTG-AP during pregnancy remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the role of MPV and the potential relationship with disease severity in HTG-AP during pregnancy.

Methods

In the retrospective study, we collected 45 patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy as the HTG-AP group and 49 pregnant females with hypertriglyceridemia as the control group. MPV and other relevant variables at onset and remission were collected and compared.

Results

MPV levels were significantly higher in the HTG-AP group than in the control group (P < 0.001), and lower in remission than on onset (P = 0.002). According to the severity of acute pancreatitis, all subjects were classified into mild AP (MAP), moderately severe AP (MSAP), and severe AP (SAP) groups. There was a significant difference in MPV on onset among the three groups (P = 0.048), and the SAP patients had the highest levels of MPV. In addition, only in the SAP group, MPV was lower in remission than on onset (P = 0.010).

Conclusion

These results may indicate an important role of MPV in evaluating the severity of HTG-AP during pregnancy.

Diagnosis

Severity

Acute pancreatitis (AP) during pregnancy is a rare, but life-threatening disease with an estimated incidence of approximately 3–10/10,000 [1,2]. AP can result in multiple organ dysfunction and disseminated intravascular coagulation owing to activation of the inﬂammatory and coagulation systems. Moreover, pregnancy-related physiologic alterations influence the diagnosis and management of many diseases. Therefore, AP in pregnancy can severely affect the mother and fetus and lead to a higher risk of intrauterine fetal death.

The most common cause of AP in pregnancy is gallstones, followed by alcohol abuse, hypertriglyceridemia, and unknown causes [3]. Non-gallstone pancreatitis is thought to be related to more complications and a poorer prognosis, such as hypertriglyceridemia-induced AP (HTG-AP) [4].

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a blood parameter used for measuring platelet size and is accepted as a widely used indicator of thrombocytic activity. In addition, MPV has been investigated in various thrombotic and inﬂammatory diseases [5].

To date, there have been few studies reporting the association between MPV and AP, and the results have been inconsistent [6-9]. Furthermore, fewer reports have focused on the relationship between MPV and HTG-AP in pregnancy, and the role of MPV is unclear in this population. Therefore, we designed the current study to assess the role of MPV and the potential relationship with disease severity in HTG-AP during pregnancy.

Ethical approval of the study protocol

This study complied with the Declaration of Helsinki [10] and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital. All patients enrolled in the study submitted written informed consent.

Patient enrollment

In this retrospective study, we collected 45 patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy (HTG-AP group). The patients were hospitalized in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Hangzhou First People’s Hospital (Hangzhou, China) from January 2010 to December 2018. As a control group, 49 consecutive pregnant females with hypertriglyceridemia were included. Patients who had biliary AP, idiopathic AP, alcohol intake, trauma, preexisting chronic pancreatitis, and a history of AP were excluded from the study. This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hangzhou First People’s Hospital and complied with the ethical standards.

Based on the Chinese guidelines for AP and HTG-AP, patients with AP who had a triglycerides level > 11.3 mmol/L (1000 mg/dl) or between 5.65 and 11.3 mmol/L (500–1000 mg/dl), but with lipemic serum after excluding gallstone, alcohol, or medication factors, were diagnosed with HTG-AP [11].

The severity of AP was classified according to the 2012 revised Atlanta Classification, as follows: mild AP (MAP), patients without organ failure and without local complications; moderately severe AP (MSAP), patients with organ failure for < 48 h or local complications; and severe AP (SAP), patients with organ failure for > 48 h [12]. All patients were categorized into the following three groups: MAP; MSAP; and SAP. We defined gestational age as the first (before 12 weeks), second (13–27 weeks), and third trimesters (28 weeks until delivery).

Data collection

The first day of hospitalization in the ICU was designated as the onset, and the day that a patient was discharged from the ICU was designated as remission when the clinical symptoms and biochemical tests were normal. Clinical data, including the age, gestational age, Ranson score, medical history, complications, and treatment were collected. Laboratory indicators, including the white blood cell (WBC) count, platelet count, MPV, hematocrit, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), total bilirubin, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), glucose, creatinine, amylase, calcium, and D-dimer, were measured and collected at the onset. Except for the control group, the platelet count, MPV, and D-dimer were collected in remission.

Statistical analysis

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was utilized for estimating the compatibility of normally distributed data. Continuous data were expressed as the mean ± standard deviation or median and 25^th–75^th percentiles as appropriate. All normally-distributed data were compared using independent samples or paired Student’s t-tests. Data shown to be non-normally distributed were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test or the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. Multi-group comparisons were made using one-way ANOVA or the Kruskal-Wallis H test, depending on the distribution of variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between MPV as well as other clinical data and HTG-AP during pregnancy. For all tests, a two-tailed P-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. All calculations were performed using SPSS (version 16.0 for Windows; IBM, Armonk, NY, USA).

Forty-five patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy and 49 control subjects were enrolled in the present study. Of the 45 pregnant women with HTG-AP, the mean gestational age was 31.22 ± 6.65 weeks, with most of the cases occurring in the third trimester (69%). MAP was diagnosed in 38% (n = 17) of the patients, MASP in 29% (n = 13), and SAP in 33% (n = 15). The clinical characteristics, complications, and treatment of study participants are summarized in Table 1. One patient with SAP died during the ICU stay.

Table 2 shows that there were no significant differences in age, gestational age, platelet count, ALT, AST, total bilirubin, and creatinine between the HTG-AP and control groups (all P > 0.05).

Patients with HTG-AP had a significantly higher length of hospital stay than the control group (P < 0.001). The WBC (P < 0.001), hs-CRP (P < 0.001), glucose (P < 0.001), TC (P < 0.001), triglycerides (P < 0.001), HDL-C (P = 0.034), LDL-C (P < 0.001), LDH (P < 0.001), amylase (P < 0.001), and D-dimer (P < 0.001) levels were significantly higher in the HTG-AP patients during pregnancy than the control group, whereas serum calcium (P < 0.001) and hematocrit (P = 0.005) levels in the HTG-AP group were significantly lower than those in the control group (Table 2).

A statistically significant increase in MPV levels was observed in patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy compared with the control group (11.29±1.47 vs 10.01±1.54, P < 0.001, Table 2). Fig. 1 shows that the mean MPV values of HTG-AP patients during pregnancy at onset and in remission compared with controls.

All HTG-AP patients during pregnancy were classified into MAP, MSAP, and SAP groups. The patients at onset had higher mean MPV levels than patients in remission (11.29±1.47 fL vs 10.10±2.03 fL, P = 0.002). Further analysis revealed a significant difference in MPV at onset among the three groups (10.64±1.56 fL, 11.48±1.42 fL vs 11.88±1.19 fL, P = 0.048), with the highest levels detected in the SAP patients (11.88±1.19 fL, Table 3, Fig. 2). Differences in MPV in remission were not statistically significant among the three groups (10.00±2.03 fL, 10.16±2.09 fL vs 10.16±2.11 fL, P = 0.976, Table 3).

There was also a significant difference between onset and remission in the SAP group (P = 0.010), but no significant differences were shown in the MAP and MSAP groups (all P > 0.05, Table 3).

In multivariate logistic regression analysis, the age-adjusted MPV was significantly correlated with HTG-AP during pregnancy (odds ratio [OR] = 1.764, 95% confdence interval [CI], 1.291-2.410; P < 0.001). Moreover, serum MPV level remained significantly associated with HTG-AP during pregnancy after further adjustments in model 2 (OR = 1.440, 95% CI, 1.005-2.061; P = 0.047, Table 4).

The main findings of the current study were as follows: 1) the MPV levels were significantly higher in patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy than the control group; 2) the mean MPV levels were increased with the severity of HTG-AP at onset; 3) the MPV levels were lower during remission than at onset in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced SAP during pregnancy; 4) the MPV levels were independently associated with HTG-AP during pregnancy. These results indicate that MPV could be related to HTG-AP severity and used as an independent risk factor of HTG-AP during pregnancy.

HTG-AP during pregnancy is a rare but severe disease with high maternal-fetal mortality risks, which presents as a systemic inflammatory process that is often accompanied by thrombosis and bleeding disorders. Normally, triglyceride levels rise gradually during pregnancy and reach a peak in the third trimester of gestation to 2-to-4-fold over pre-pregnancy levels. In addition, high levels of estrogen related to pregnancy can reduce the activity of lipoprotein lipase and lead to hypertriglyceridemia [13] There is an increased risk for AP when serum triglyceride levels are > 10 g/L (11.3 mmol/L) [14], which is why most cases of HTG-AP occurred during the third trimester of gestation.

Currently, there are no standardized guidelines for clinicians regarding hypertriglyceridemia-induced AP during pregnancy. Moreover, the main diagnostic methods rely on clinical experience, and the existing serum biomarkers are helpful in assessing AP severity. Therefore, early, alternative, and easily applicable markers are needed.

It has been reported that platelet activation plays an important role in the development and evolution of AP [15]. MPV is a simple parameter showing platelet function and activation that can be measured by complete blood count analysis at no additional cost.

Abnormal MPV has been correlated with thrombotic and inflammatory conditions, such as myocardial infarction, acute cerebral ischemia, inﬂammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and familial Mediterranean fever [16-20]; however, the relationship between MPV and AP has not been fully clarified, especially hypertriglyceridemia-induced SAP during pregnancy.

Our finding showed that MPV levels were increased in patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy compared with controls. Furthermore, MPV levels were decreased during remission.

To date, several previous studies have investigated the relationship between AP and MPV, but the results were conﬂicting. Beyazit et al [21] examined the role of MPV in AP and described a significant decrease in MPV in patients with AP compared with healthy subjects. Erbis et al [9] in a study involving 76 patients with pancreatitis showed that patients with pancreatitis had lower levels in MPV, and the mean MPV values were lower in AP patients (7.2 ± 0.52 fL) than in AP (7.9 ± 0.53 fL). Another contemporaneous study reported that MPV was significantly lower on admission than during remission in biliary and non-biliary AP patients [9]. Recently, Lei et al [22] also reported that MPV levels were significantly lower in the AP group than the control group, and MPV presented an upward trend during the first week after admission in all AP patients.

Although the previous results suggested low MPV levels in AP, these studies excluded patients who had pregnancy or hyperlipidemia. In comparison, we focused on patients with hyperlipidemia-induced AP in pregnancy. It is probable that the disparity in the studies may be explained by differences in the study population and design. Thus, we should pay more attention to further studies.

The exact reason for increased MPV in hyperlipidemia-induced SAP during pregnancy remains unknown, but it has been speculated that platelets not only control thrombosis and hemostasis, but also regulate inflammatory conditions. There is a stimulation of megakaryopoiesis in the early stages of the inflammatory process associated with hyperlipidemia-induced SAP, which produces a large amount of young and large platelets with high procoagulation potential [23]. Osada et al [6] observed a significant increase in the number of large platelets in the AP groups; the median and mean MPV remained at high levels during the acute phase in the mild and severe AP groups. Moreover, the MPV levels showed a downward trend in remission phase in patients with SAP, which supported our results.

Thrombocytopenia is not only a common finding during pregnancy, but also frequent at the onset of AP [24]. Thrombocytopenia can lead to enhanced thrombopoiesis, which increases the quantity of highly reactive large-sized platelets [5]. Thus, these findings may partly explain why there were high MPV levels in our study patients. Akbal et al [7] also detected higher MPV levels in patients with AP at the time of admission than controls, which was consistent with our results. In addition, our data also showed that the D-dimer was elevated in patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy, which were in agreement with the alterations in MPV. Together, these studies suggest that an elevated MPV facilitates platelet adhesiveness and aggregation, which may lead to a high prothrombotic potential and impairment of pancreatic microcirculation in hyperlipidemia-induced SAP during pregnancy.

There were some limitations to the present study. First, the study population was relatively small. The current study had a very limited number of patients because of the rarity of HTG-AP during pregnancy. Second, owing to ethical reasons, we could not assess the clinical benefits of antiplatelet therapy in this population. It was also difficult to adjust adequately for measurement of patient adherence. Third, this was a single-center, retrospective cohort study; therefore, the results we observed cannot be evaluated definitively. Further multi-center, large-scale, prospective studies are needed to verify the findings of the present study. Although our results may be limited in terms of the sample size and study design, the present study still offers implications for the diagnosis and management of HTG-AP during pregnancy. Given the specific population, we believe our findings may provide new evidence for further studies with larger sample sizes.

In conclusion, our study demonstrated that the MPV levels were higher in patients with HTG-AP during pregnancy than the control group. In addition, the highest MPV was detected on onset in patients with hypertriglyceridemia-induced SAP during pregnancy. Furthermore, MPV levels decreased in remission in such patients. Thus, MPV could play an important role in the early diagnosis of HTG-AP during pregnancy and may be helpful for evaluating the severity of HTG-AP; however, additional large-scale, prospective studies are required to validate our findings.
