Question 1

what are normal mpv ranges mine was 10.7 and all other blood tests where normal?

Accepted Answer

About 9-12 fL: Different labs and/or different countries may have minor differences in their "normal ranges" for mean platelet volume.  It is usually about 9-12 fl.

Question 2

my platelet count is normal,  mpv is low. on january 10 my basophil was 1.9; on january 13 basophil was 3.9. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your blood counts are not a cause for concern.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 3

normal platelet count of 271 but mpv of 7.4. normal mpv on my lab results showed 7.8-11. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No reason to worry.: MPV or mean platelet volume can give information about the size of your platelets.  In your case I don't think this information has any significance.

Question 4

my blood labs done today were on the whole in the normal range. but: my mean platelet volume was 12.7, lymphocyte % was 14.2%, and the lymphocyte absolute was 0.91. i have type 2 diabetes and the glucose level was 213. should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

: Blood count details naturally fluctuate over the course of the day and from test to test. With rare exceptions, if the results each time are in the normal range, nothing is wrong.

Question 5

mean platelet volume .7-.9 points low for 7 years... platelets vary from high to high end of normal.... should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

No: If this is the only finding, and your physician is not concerned, i'd ignore it. Some people have smallish platelets.  I trust you're not iron deficient. Best wishes.

Question 6

mean platelet volume 5.9 which is low. hematocrit 45.2 slightly elevated. all other test within normal range. any cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

No: But I am concerned that you infarcted some of your spleen, especially as a young woman. Please try to find out why -- and if it was atherosclerosis, do everything you can to keep this at bay.

Question 7

what can cause high levels of immature granulocytes- 0.6% absolute immature granulocytes- 0.07 absolute neutrophils-8.04% absolute monocytes-0.92 mean platelet volume-9.0 white blood count-12.29% i have been diagnosed with arthritis?

Accepted Answer

: I am not sure if the numbers are correctly written down (percentage and absolute numbers). Most often, immature granulocytes are increased in a serious bacterial infection. However, 0.6% is not considered to be of significance. Treatment with corticosteroids can also increase immature granulocytes.

Question 8

reasons why mean platelet volume are low?

Accepted Answer

Just means: The average size of the platelets are small. May not mean anything.

Question 9

what does "mean platelet volume: 13.0" mean?

Accepted Answer

Average size: That reflects average platelet size and seems to be at the higher end of normal/ borderline high.

Question 10

how high is too high for mean platelet volume?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Mean platelet volume by it self may not be significant.  It is sometimes used with lo platelet count to assess for big large young platelets sometimes noted with itp.
