Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) details

What Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) shows

Mean platelet volume (MPV) is the average size of the platelets in your blood. Platelets are small cell fragments made in the bone marrow that help your blood clot. MPV is reported as part of a complete blood count and helps look at how platelets are being produced. A higher MPV means platelets are larger on average, which can happen when the marrow is releasing young platelets quickly, for example when platelets are being used up or destroyed. A lower MPV can be seen when platelet production is reduced. MPV has little meaning on its own and is always interpreted alongside your platelet count.
