On your lab report, you will see the number of platelets (PLT) in your blood, and you may also see the average size (called mean platelet volume or MPV). Platelet count false readings Occasionally, you could get a false result if your platelets stick together in a clump. The lab ...
1 Observing platelet count and function, for instance, is necessary when treating patients suffering from platelet disorders,2 but also in hospitals, during surgery, and in ICUs.3., 4. When the platelet count falls below a certain threshold or platelet function is impaired, doctors need to ...
During the WBC-PLT recovery trajectory, WBC count decreases, and PLT counts increases, meaning that a ratio such as WBC/PLT will necessarily decrease. The prognostic associations identified for these ratios likely reflect some of the same physiologic processes generating the WBC-PLT recovery ...
We describe here the results of an updated systematic review aimed to provide a detailed analysis of studies that have addressed the potential clinical utility of PDW in routine laboratory medicine, exploring the possible association between increased PDW levels, disease severity, and mortality in COVI...
few studies have investigated the predictive value of the initial MPV/platelet value. As revealed in this study, the ability to predict prognosis through a complete blood count, an easy, convenient, and readily available laboratory test, will help personalise treatments and improve the prognosis for...

For a sample to be truly designated as “platelet-rich”, its platelet count should exceed the baseline concentration in whole blood by, as is commonly accepted, at least five-fold [37]. The PRP preparation obtained by centrifugation of the whole blood contains more than 1100 different ...
In recent years, several types of platelet concentrates have been investigated and applied in many fields, particularly in the musculoskeletal system. Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) is an autologous biomaterial, a second-generation platelet concentrate conta
The blood was immediately analyzed for mean platelet count, red blood cells (RBC), and white blood cells (WBC) using a hematology analyzer (Sysmex XN-2100, Sysmex, Kōbe, Japan). Blood samples were then centrifuged at 180 g for 10 min at 20 °C to obtain platelet-rich plasma (PRP). ...
