what is normal mpv
Applications. Typically, the mean platelet volume ranges between 7.2 to 11.7 fL. This is roughly equivalent to tiny spheres that range in size from 2.65 to 2.8 micrometer in diameter. Any value of the mean platelet volume outside this range is indicative of an underlying clinical process. Platelets whose mean platelet volume is above the normal range are called macro-thrombocytes while those below the normal range are micro-thrombocytes. The table below lists the different conditions where mean platelet volume may vary.
