A member asked:
Is a platelet volume of 13.7 and platelet count of 144 serious.?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not really.: The normal ranges for platelet volume and count are 7.5-11.5 fl (femtolitre), and 130-400 k/ul respectively. Your volume of 13.7 is higher than this range, but not much. These are typical ranges, so they can vary. Unless you have unusual symptoms, or bruising, or clotting issues, like blood taking a long time to clot, there should be no problem, and these are normal values for you.

No: The platelet count is more important.

Ive had lots of lab work due to an upcoming surgery. 5 days ago my platelet volume was 12.7- Yesterday it was 13. My platelet count is 236, is this a concern? All other CBC labs were normal although the partial thromboplastin time was high end, 33.
