What can cause smaller blood platelets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May just be you: Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome famously features very low platelet volume. Otherwise a mildly low MPV is probably just you -- reference ranges are set so that a few percent of healthies fall outside on either end. If there is an actual health problem it I'll be apparent on other labs.
