The quantitation of platelets in peripheral blood is a well-recognized tool. Recently, new indices related to erythrocytes and platelet counts have been provided by hematologic analyzers. Concerning the platelet parameter, the three important parameters are plateletcrit (PCT), mean platelet volume (MPV), platelet distribution width (PDW). The purpose of the study is to investigate these three parameters to define their expected values and the correlation with the parallel red blood cell parameters, hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volumer (MCV), and red blood cell distribution width (RDW). Blood samples form 215 volunteers were analyzed for platelet parameters using Technicon H*3. The average (mean ± SD) values obtained with expected ranges were PCT 0.24 ± 0.05% (range, 0.23-0.24%), MPV 12.79 ± 5.91 fL (range, 12.39-13.19 fL), and PDW 46.79 ± 2.70% (range, 46.61-46.97%). Concerning the correlation between PCT, MPV, and RDW and their parallel red blood cell parameters, there was no significant correlation between PCT and HCT, and between MPV and MCV. However, there was a significant correlation between PDW and RDW. It seems that the anisocytosis of red blood cells and platelets might co-occur. However, these data are basic observations; further in-depth evaluation of the platelet parameters is recommended.

What is the pct taste test?

I remember when I was in elementary school, people in my class were going to take a PCT taste test, and I believe it was a strip placed on the tongue. If you were a PCT Taster, I believed you tasted a quite bad taste (I was reluctant to try to test). However, I do not know where exactly you would buy this, and I ask that if you are interested in buying a PCT Tasting kit that you be careful and make sure you are ordering from a reliable carrier, such as a children's science company. I remember talking about PCT tasting having to do with brussell sprouts... I could be wrong, but if you like brussell sprouts, this may mean that you aren't a PCT Taster. However, please do some research and get some second opinions on this!


What is pct in complete blood count?

PCT stands for platelet crit, which is a measure of the volume occupied by platelets in the whole blood sample. It is used to assess platelet function and can help in the diagnosis of various blood disorders. Low PCT levels may indicate conditions such as thrombocytopenia, while high levels may be present in thrombocytosis.
