Those are the same: The numbers are the same. Life is not exact and neither are the machines in the lab. Numbers are usually estimates. It's like one person saying there were 25600 people at the presidential inauguration, and another person saying there were 27500 people at the inauguration... the two numbers are the same because life is not exact. Platelets reference range for normal people: about 150-450 thousand.

Had my annual bloodwork and all good except MPV is high at 13.5 the range is 7.5-12.5. My platelet count is 256 which is good as range 140-400. Do I need to worry about high MPV? Can I do anything to lower? Everything else is great?
Why would platelet levels fluctuate so much and can this be normal? 2/17 - 304, 5/18 - 360, 7/2019 - 321, 4/20 - 419, 6/20 - 384, 7/20 - 349, 8/20 - 453 (3 points out of range). All other bloodwork normal ranges. Is this concerning on it's own?
