what is mpv in blood test results
MPV blood test is a test performed to measure the size of the platelets. It shouldnât be confused with platelet count in the Complete Blood Count (CBC) test because the plateletâs size is measured in MPV while the number of platelets is counted in a CBC test. MPV test can reveal the efficiency of the bone marrow in producing platelets.
Mean Platelet Volume or MPV blood test is primarily ordered to assess the production of platelet in the bone marrow by measuring the size of the platelet in the bloodstream. Typically, a person with serious platelet production problem will register a low count of platelets.
