A member asked:

Please help me understand. cbc with low platelet count at 95 and mpv at 12. what is the meaning next to platelet morphology saying "si decrease"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Thrombocytopenia: You'll need this rechecked. The platelet morphology comment actually refers to the numbers, not the shapes. If you're drinking beverages with quinine, discontinue them before your next blood draw. Your physician knows how to follow this up. Best wishes.
