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.

I suffered from body pain, semi liquid loose motion, body weakness, and sometimes fever in the evening. My blood report says that my blood platelets are 1.10 lakhs. Please give your opinion on that?
