Platelet distribution width of 8.8 is considered low, but the severity needs to be determined according to whether it is accompanied by other indicators of abnormality.
The normal range of platelet width is 15% to 17%, while platelet 8.8% is low.
1. If only the width of platelet distribution decreases, other laboratory tests such as platelet and red blood cell counts, cell size, etc. are normal, then a decrease in the width of platelet distribution means that the platelet homogeneity is high, which is a normal phenomenon.
2. If there are abnormalities in the platelet count in addition to the decrease in platelet distribution width in laboratory tests, it means that the decrease is caused by pathological factors, such as inhibition of bone marrow hematopoietic function.
Platelet distribution width alone can not accurately determine the cause, but also need to be combined with the characteristics of the medical history, other test results to make an accurate judgment, it is recommended that under the guidance of the doctor to clarify the cause of the disease, to determine the degree of severity.
