what does it mean if my mean platelet volume is high
Mean platelet volume MPV is higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in inflammatory bowel disease,[2] immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), myeloproliferative diseases and Bernard-Soulier syndrome. It may also be related to pre-eclampsia, and recovery from transient hypoplasia.[3]
Vein Veins are less muscular than arteries and are often closer to the skin. There are valves in most veins to prevent backflow.
Standard deviation Let X be a random variable with mean value Î¼:
Abdominal examination On light palpation, the examiner tests for any palpable mass, rigidity, or pain.
Dividend yield Its reciprocal is the Price/Dividend ratio.
Mean platelet volume Mean platelet volume (MPV) is a machine-calculated measurement of the average size of platelets found in blood and is typically included in blood tests as part of the CBC. Since the average platelet size is larger when the body is producing increased numbers of platelets, the MPV test results can be used to make inferences about platelet production in bone marrow or platelet destruction problems.[1]
