I received my routine blood test report, which shows an MPV of 13.6. Could you please advise if this requires any precautions or if there is anything to be concerned about? Regards, Upkar

An MPV or Mean Platelet Volume of 13.6 is slightly on the higher side but usually not a concern on its own. If other blood counts are normal and you feel well, there is no reason to worry. No treatment is needed unless advised by your doctor.

I am 67 years old and have been experiencing chest pain. My blood report shows a low count of monocytes, and my chest X ray shows no signs of any problem. I believe the chest pain might be due to acidity.

Please check my CBC report, doctor, and advise if there is anything wrong or if everything is normal and nothing to worry about? Thank you.
