A normal human platelet count ranges from 150,000 to 450,000 platelets/microliter (μL) of blood. [4] Values outside this range do not necessarily indicate disease. One common definition of thrombocytopenia requiring emergency treatment is a platelet count below 50,000/μL. [ 5 ]
In this article, all values (except the ones listed below) denote blood plasma concentration, which is approximately 60–100% larger than the actual blood concentration if the amount inside red blood cells (RBCs) is negligible.
Platelet concentrations vary between individuals and over time, with the population average between 250,000 and 260,000 cells per mm 3 (equivalent to per microliter), but the typical laboratory accepted normal range is between 150,000 and 400,000 cells per mm 3 or 150–400 × 10 9 per liter.
Thrombosis (from Ancient Greek θρόμβωσις (thrómbōsis) ' clotting ') is the formation of a blood clot inside a blood vessel, obstructing the flow of blood through the circulatory system.
Giant platelet disorders, also known as macrothrombocytopenia, are rare disorders featuring abnormally large platelets, thrombocytopenia and a tendency to bleeding. Giant platelets cannot stick adequately to injured blood vessel walls, resulting in abnormal bleeding when injured.
Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is the most common hereditary blood-clotting disorder in humans. An acquired form can sometimes result from other medical conditions. [1] It arises from a deficiency in the quality or quantity of von Willebrand factor (VWF), a multimeric protein that is required for platelet adhesion.
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. ...
