Avatar n tn my mchc is 35.50(high),hematocrit is 35.50(low),mpv 13.40(high).what does it signify?
Avatar n tn My blood report said my mpv was 11.2 and said it was high. Said levels should be 7.4- 10.4. I think Mvp has something to do with blood but I don't know for sure. If you find out let me know.

12182312 tn?1427683956 No worries sweetie! As I said it is likely due to prolonged inflammation or your body is just producing too many platelets or it may have no serious clinical significance. Worse case scenario, you may have to get blood thinners. I don't see any connection to cancer.
Avatar f tn s my doctor ordered a CT Scan of my chest the impression states scattered mediastinal lymph nodes what does all this mean? Should I be scared?
Avatar f tn i have heard of people going as low as 25. I would stay on the same meds monitoring bloodwork every week or two. If it was early in tx I would worry but not with a few months to go. Be very careful not to cut yourself. It would be hard to stop bleeding with that low of platelets.

Avatar f tn Does your daughter have Infection (infection would cause a fever)? Infections can cause a high or low platelet count. In children, an infection is often accompanied by a raised platelet count. This is thought to be due to the hormones, called cytokines, that are produced as part of the body's normal defense against infection. Additionally, a high platelet count can happen for many reasons, but there are two basic processes involved.

Avatar f tn WBC-white blood cell count, RBC-red blood cell count, TSH-thyroid stimulating hormone, T4-thyroxine, HGB-hemoglobin, HCT-hematocrit, MCV-mean corpuscular value, MCH- mean corpuscular hemoglobin, MCHC-mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration, RDW-red cell distribution width, PLT-platelets. According to my lab book: Mosby's diagnostic and laboratory test reference, the following numbers are within normal range - WBC 5-10 MCHC 32 - 36 RBC male 4.7 - 6.
Avatar f tn Asked my GP about it, and she said we would repeat it in a couple of weeks, so we did, and it was 460. She looked back my blood results, and it seems for the last year and a half anyhow, my platelets have been between 420 - 460, highest been March 2011 they were at 487. She isnt concerned about this, and thinks it is just my normal, and it isnt progressively getting higher. She does want to check it every 4-6 months, just to check doesnt start to climb.
745313 tn?1323142298 I don't remember the comments at the bottom, but my MCV and MPV were always flagged as "HIGH". I was always more concerned about the absolute neutrophils which were often flagged as "ALERT". Mine were on LabCorp tests. Anyway, I understand that this is not at all unusual for someone on Ribavirin because of the accelerated destruction of red blood cells leaving a larger percentage of new cells that are typically larger than old ones. I guess they shrivel with age.
