Brief Answer:
Kindly upload report

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask A Doctor service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

MPV of 12.5 is only slightly high and is not a cause of concern. Is it the only value that is high? Do you have any symptoms?

Kindly upload the reports so that I am better able to help.

I have seen the reports.

There is nothing to worry as all other parameters are normal. It just seem to be a laboratory variation.
