A mean platelet volume (MPV) blood test measures the average size of your platelets, the tiny blood cells that help form clots to stop bleeding. It is often included in a complete blood count (CBC ...

A mean platelet volume (MPV) test measures the size of your platelets. Along with other tests, an MPV test can help doctors identify health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, some cancers ...

On your lab report, you will see the number of platelets (PLT) in your blood, and you may also see the average size (called mean platelet volume or MPV). Platelets are small cell fragments in your ...

For patients treated with peritoneal dialysis (PD), mean platelet volume (MPV) is associated with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular mortality, according to a study published online Nov. 8 in ...

With no single biomarker for systemic lupus erythematosus, investigators wanted to investigate whether there is a connection between mean platelet volume and the disease. In a recent study ...
