A member asked:

I was sent to get a blood test because of kidney stones that a sonogram revealed i have. my results show that my mpv is high at 12.7 is that normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Platelets: MPV=mean platelet volume This is a little used value in thehemograom, with only weak correlation with disease states. Like red cells, younger platelets tend to be bigger, and stress reactions may prompt earlier release from the marrow. Many possible causes, but little utility in isolation.
