What Does MPV(mean Platelet Volume) FL 8.8 Suggest?
Just had some recent yearly blood testing done. My MPV (Mean Platlet volume (FL) was 8.8 with the range being 9.4-12.3. Not sure whether this is something to be concerned about and what does it really mean. What can I do to increase my number of 8.8? Thanks.

Dear,
Unless you have any problem low platelet volume of this nature has not much significance. To make their volume normal you have to check iron, folic acid and B12 level. If any of these are deficient they need to be corrected.
