MPV
Average platelet size.
MPV is the average volume of platelets; the typical range is about 7.5–11.5 fL.
| MPV | Possible situation |
|---|---|
| High (>11.5 fL) | Young, large platelets: higher turnover, inflammation, some cardiovascular conditions |
| 7.5–11.5 fL | Typical range |
| Low (<7.5 fL) | Reduced marrow production may be possible; some medicines |
