Q: My daughter is 5 and has had blood work done her glucose and b12 are high shes severe anemic and has low rbc/wbc also low mpv... what does this mean?

To even begin to sort this out the history, exam & actual lab values (numbers) would be required. From the meager data described she could have several issues. Collaborate with her doc & follow up with them to develop a plan for any further testing and treatment.

Q: What does it mean to have a low mpv (7.1) but a normal platelet count? (256). my doctor says its normal, but i do have bruising & my bones hurt easily

Nothing you should worry about. I do not thing that the low mpv has anything to do with your bruising and bony aches. Brusing can be caused by different things like abnormal function of the platelet, problem with skin collagen, thyroid problem, hormonal, etc. If you are bruising easily, you may want to ask your doctor to run some test or refer you to see a hematologist for further work-up.

Q: What does a low mpv signify if the platelet count is normal?

The MPV means the size of the platelets. Size of platelets can be hereditary. Occasional syndromes have low MPV and larger MPV can be associated with newer younger platelets. Normal platelet counts in a healthy person with no bleeding issues is fine even if the MPV is small.

Q: What causes high lym% low mpv and rdw.

Can you send your entire blood count and something about your health? This would be very helpful.

Question 1

What does a low mpv 8.5 (9.00-13.00fl) mean with high platelets of 447 (150-410)? slightly raised wbc and neutrophils as well. hgb is 13.4

Accepted Answer

A hematologist should provide the answer. The best I found as far MPV is as Follows, the rest is normal
Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of platelets found in blood and is typically included in blood tests as part of the CBC. Since the average platelet size is larger when the body is producing increased numbers of platelets, the MPV test results can be used to make inferences about platelet production in bone marrow or platelet destruction problems. MPV is higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in inflammatory bowel disease, immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myeloproliferative diseases and Bernard-Soulier syndrome. It may also be related to pre-eclampsia, and recovery from, transient hypoplasia.
 Abnormally low MPV values correlate with thrombocytopenia when it is due to impaired production as in aplastic anemia. In addition, low MPV, can correlate with abnormally small platelet size, sometimes a symptom of a spectrum referred to as Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, caused by a genetic mutation of the WAS gene.
A typical range of platelet volumes is 9.7–12.8 fL (femtolitre), equivalent to spheres 2.65 to 2.9 µm in diameter. Normal range is given as 7.5-11.5 fL

Question 2

I have a low mpv of 7.1 and a high wbc of 11.4. what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

The low MPV does not usually have any significant importance. I tend to ignore it most of the time. The slightly elevated WBC can be due to many things such as infection, inflammation, medications, stress, autoimmune disorders, other disorders and in rare occasions blood disorders such as leukemia. It has to be put in the context of history, examination and other laboratory values.

Question 3

High platelet count (478) and low mpv (6.4).  what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

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, you mpv is okay. Platelet count is high. First thing to rule out is iron deficiency, especially in a woman of reproductive age.

Question 4

What does it mean if  blood tests gr is 53.7 low, mo# 0.3 low, mchc 32.1 low, plt 122. low, mpv 7.7 low?

Accepted Answer

These are all just very slightly out of the reference ranges, present no health hazard, warn of nothing, and if you're feeling healthy, go home thankful. Thanks for clarifying.

Question 5

What can a low mpv of 5.8 (range 7.0-10.4) mean 3 weels after giving birth. also high platelets.

Accepted Answer

Low mpv--means the the patient has smaller platelets.  This may be associated with some family history of smaller platelets or with some syndromes.  High platelets can be associated with iron deficiency or other vitamin deficiencies.  Should be discussed with your doctor.

Question 6

A have a low mpv (6.90fl) but a normal platelets (353.00x10-3) what can does tha mean? all other text was normal except low t3 (liothyronine) and high cholesterol.

Accepted Answer

MPV stands for Mean Platelet Volume and is a measure of the size of the platelets in your blood. Platelets are cellular elements that help initiate blood clotting. If your platelet count is low (< 100,000 per microliter) then the time it takes to stop bleeding increases. The MPV can be a clue as to why someone has a low platelet count, but on its own it doesn't mean much.
