Material and methods: 36 male patient, mean age 32.2 (18–54)with IHH, admitted to the outpatient clinic of Endocrinology and Metabolism were included to the study.

While there was negative correlation with testosterone and ALT levels (r=−0.25, P=0.03), positive correlation was detected between testosterone and PDW (r=0.31, P=0.007).

MPV and PDW are two markers of platelet activation, and have recently been recognised as risk predictors of cardiovascular diseases.
