The normal value of average platelet volume is 7~11fl, if the patient’s value is 8.8fl, it is within the normal range, no need to worry too much. Patients can take into account their own situation, as well as other test results, ask the doctor’s guidance.
If the value of mean platelet volume is abnormally high, it may be due to thrombotic disease and pre-thrombotic state, or considered to be caused by idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, chronic granulocytic leukemia and other diseases. If the value decreases, it may be due to conditions such as poor bone marrow hematopoiesis and decreased platelet production.
