Platelet ratio, also known as platelet pressure product, is the ratio of the volume of all platelets in the blood to the volume of whole blood, and its normal range is between 0.11% and 0.23%, but the specific standards of different hospitals have certain fluctuations.
When the platelet ratio is elevated, it indicates that the number of platelets in the blood is increased, or the volume of whole blood in the patient’s body is reduced. In addition to the increase in the number of platelets suggesting that the patient may be suffering from thrombocytosis, the platelet ratio will increase when the patient suffers from infarctive diseases, infections or oncological diseases; at the same time, when the volume of whole blood is reduced, that is, suggesting that the patient suffers from dehydration and diarrhea, which may also appear in the situation of elevated platelet ratio. The platelet ratio can also be elevated in this case.
It is necessary to combine other indicators and clinical symptoms to determine the disease, if there is any discomfort, consult a doctor in time and follow the doctor’s instructions.
