A member asked:
Is a high mean platelet volume (platelet size) a risk factor for blood clots/stroke?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it can be: High NORMAL is perfectly normal, however if you are above the normal range, then you could have a condition that would make you more susceptible to various types of blood clots, including stroke. Ask the doctor who ordered the test what to do next.
