âWhat we eat determines the quality of our blood, which has a direct effect on our blood vessels and the heart, says nutritionist and yoga instructor, Christa Orecchio. Blood vessels carry oxygen-rich blood, nutrients, minerals and vitamins to all areas and organs in the body.
Having a Low MPV indicates that the platelet count in your blood is lower than normal and that you are in danger of suffering more blood loss in case you get injured. Besides this, a low MPV is also considered a symptom of many other diseases and disorders.
A high number of large platelets (high MPV) in a person with a low platelet count suggests the bone marrow is producing platelets and releasing them into circulation rapidly. Conversely, the MPV may be low in people with low platelet counts due to a disorder affecting production by the bone marrow. A normal PDW indicates platelets that are mostly the same size, while a high PDW means that platelet size varies greatly, a clue that there may be a disorder affecting platelets.
