Mean platelet volume is the size of the platelets. The higher the MPV the larger the platelet size and the lower the MPV the smaller the platelets. High MPV can cause a person to be at a higher risk for strokes and heart attacks. Low MPV can cause a person to be at risk for bleeding problems (too much bleeding that is slow to stop). There are some natural anti coagulants that help lower MPV blood like flax seed oil and fish oil.

How to calculate mean platlet value?

To calculate the mean platelet volume (MPV), you need a complete blood count (CBC) test that provides the platelet count and the volume of platelets. MPV is typically calculated by dividing the total volume of platelets by the number of platelets present in the sample. The formula can be expressed as MPV = (Total platelet volume / Total platelet count). This value helps assess platelet function and can be an indicator of various health conditions.
