In an exploratory retrospective study of 45 women with lipedema versus 40 age-matched controls, platelet indices PDW and MPV were numerically higher in the lipedema group but showed no statistically significant between-group differences in any CBC parameter after correction for multiple comparisons, arguing against these as standalone diagnostic markers.

“No statistically significant between group differences were observed in complete blood count parameters after correction for multiple comparisons, although PDW and MPV were numerically higher in the lipedema group.”
The study sought hematological/inflammatory markers to distinguish lipedema but found no statistically significant differences after correction, and was not BMI-matched; it provides a null result against blood-based distinguishing biomarker - Hematological Profiles in Women with Lipedema: Exploratory Analysis of Platelet Distribution Width and Mean Platelet Volume. . — Yavas AD. (2026) ✓ verified — contextual · case series · 2026 · reading confidence: high
“No statistically significant between group differences were observed in complete blood count parameters after correction for multiple comparisons, although PDW and MPV were numerically higher in the lipedema group.”
The article tested whether blood/platelet markers distinguish lipedema, but found no significant differences after correction, providing a null result against these markers as distinguishing features.
