Platelets Normal Range: 150-450 x 103/microliter
Low platelet levels signify- AKA thrombocytopenia. Low levels of platelets are
due to viral infections, rocky mountain spotted fever, platelet autoantibody,
drugs such as Tylenol, quinidine, and sulfa drugs, cirrhosis, autoimmune
disorders, sepsis, leukemia, lymphoma, myelodysplasia, and chemo or radiation.
High platelet levels signify- AKA thrombocytosis. High levels of platelets are due
to cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, inflammatory bowel disease (IBM), iron
deficiency anemia, hemolytic anemia, and myeloproliferative disorder.
Platelet Count (Plt) Normal Range: 150-450 x 103/microliter
Mean
Platelet Volume (MPV): No normal value range because this test
evaluates the average size of the platelets.
Low
Mean Platelet Volume levels signify- Indicates the average size of
platelets is small. Older platelets are generally smaller than younger ones and
a low MPV may mean that a condition is affecting the production of platelets in
the bone marrow.
High
Mean Platelet Volume levels Signify- Indicates a high number of
larger, younger platelets in the blood. This may be due to the bone marrow
producing ad releasing too many platelets and too fast into circulation.
Platelet
Distribution Width (PDW): No normal value range because this test
evaluates the uniformity in size of platelets.
Low Platelet Distribution Width signify- Indicates
uniformity in size of platelets.
High Platelet Distribution Width signify- Indicates
increased variation in the size of the platelets, which may mean that a
condition is present that is affecting the platelets.
