2. Mean platelet volume - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 ...

3. Thrombocythemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocythemia

   In hematology, thrombocythemia is a condition of high platelet (thrombocyte) count in the blood. Normal count is in the range of 150 × 10 9 to 450 × 10 9 platelets per liter of blood, [1] but investigation is typically only considered if the upper limit exceeds 750 × 10 9 /L.

4. Giant platelet disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_platelet_disorder

   Giant platelet disorders can be further categorized: [6] caused by auto-immune disorders, for example Immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), and characterized by low platelet count, but high MPV (mean platelet volume). [7] Caused by glycoprotein abnormalities: Bernard–Soulier syndrome, velocardiofacial syndrome

5. Complete blood count - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_blood_count

   A complete blood count (CBC), also known as a full blood count (FBC), is a set of medical laboratory tests that provide information about the cells in a person's blood.The CBC indicates the counts of white blood cells, red blood cells and platelets, the concentration of hemoglobin, and the hematocrit (the volume percentage of red blood cells).

6. Gilbert's syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert's_syndrome

   Platelet counts and MPV (mean platelet volume) are decreased in patients with Gilbert's syndrome. The elevated levels of bilirubin and decreasing levels of MPV and CRP in Gilbert's syndrome patients may have an effect on the slowing down of the atherosclerotic process. [27]

7. Bernard–Soulier syndrome - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard–Soulier_syndrome

   In terms of diagnosis Bernard–Soulier syndrome is characterized by prolonged bleeding time, thrombocytopenia, increased megakaryocytes, and enlarged platelets, Bernard–Soulier syndrome is associated with quantitative or qualitative defects of the platelet glycoprotein complex GPIb/V/IX. The degree of thrombocytopenia may be estimated ...
