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.

View allDear Doctor, I had tonsillitis last week, and my WBC was 17x10000/L. After taking the prescribed medication and no longer experiencing a sore throat last Thursday, I repeated my blood test on Tuesday, and my WBC has decreased to 13x10000/L. Although it has come down, it is still above the normal range. Could you please advise if this rate of reduction is normal and whether I should be concerned?
