After appropriate exclusions, diabetic patients were divided into coronary artery ectasia and normal coronary artery groups. A total of 248 patients were included in the study and hemogram parameters of these two groups were compared.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Compared to control group white blood count (WBC) <em>[8 (4-13) vs. 7 (5-12) u/mm3, p=0.023]</em>, hemoglobin <em>[13 (10-16) vs. 14 (10-20) gr/dL, p=0.015]</em>, red cell distribution width (RDW) <em>[16 (14-20) vs. 15 (12-19) %, p=0.026]</em>, neutrophil <em>[4.5 (2.1-11.4) vs. 4.0 (0.2-7.5) u/mm3, p=0.003</em>], platelet counts (Plt) <em>[266 (196-450) vs. 236 (163-362) k/mm3 p&lt;0.001]</em>, platelet distribution width (PDW) <em>(17.9 (16.2-20.4) vs. 17.7 (15.9-19.7) % p=0.011)</em>, mean platelet volume (MPV) <em>[8.4 (6.4-11.2) vs. 7.9 (6.6-10.1) Fl, p=0.015</em>], plateletcrit (PCT) <em>[0.20 (0.14-0.32) vs. 0.19 (0.13-0.26), p&lt;0.001]</em>, and neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) <em>[2.1 (1.0-9.7) vs. 1.6 (0.2-5.7), p=0.002]</em> were significantly higher in CAE patients.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The results of this study suggest that the increased some hemogram parameters may be useful in predicting disease in diabetic patients with CAE.</p> ER -
