I have done a CBC test recently and the reports are normal, but a few platelet indices are high, specifically MPV and PCT. Please check my report. What does this mean? Is it normal or do I need further evaluation?

High MPV (mean platelet volume) indicates larger, active platelets. PCT (plateletcrit) is high more platelets in volume. Can be post infection or reactive. If the rest of CBC is normal and no symptoms, no treatment is needed. Recheck after 1 to2 months if concerned.
