In my report, the platelet distribution width is 16.2 percent and the mean platelet volume is 7.2 fL. Can I know if there is any problem?

Both values are slightly outside the usual range but not necessarily alarming. A low MPV may be seen in some platelet disorders or mild infections. If you have no bleeding or clotting issues, it is not urgent. Please consult a doctor to interpret it in the context of your full blood count and symptoms.

Hi, my friend, a 30 year old female, has a platelet count of 126,000, with no signs of infection. Is this normal? Should she undergo any additional tests to identify the underlying cause, and if so, which tests are recommended?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

Is my blood test report normal? My platelet count has been high in some tests and low in the last three values. My ESR is 8. Please explain whether this is normal or a cause for concern.
