What Does Elevated Mean Platelet Volume In Blood Indicate?
Hi! I am a 32 year old mother of 1. I am 145lbs and 5'3" tall. My MPV count came out to be 13.5 while all other indicators in my blood picture are normal. I had a very bad stomach pain some few days ago...therefore went to have a blood test done. While everything else is fine my MPV is 13.5 which is indicative of what?

Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. MPV is mean platelet volume. It indicates average size of platelets. High mpv suggest you may have some giant platelets. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. Many times it is seen without any abnormality. So don't worry about that.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
