Abstract
The medical field uses mean platelet volume (MPV) measurements as an essential diagnostic and monitoring indicator for diagnosing and following different conditions that include thrombotic and inflammatory diseases with diabetes and other hematological conditions. High mean platelet volume directly correlate with advanced medical conditions in cancer treatments as well as blood-related diseases which include platelet deficiencies. Mean platelet volume increases with inflammatory infections while offering important information about preeclampsia cases in pregnant women. Therefore, the mean platelet volume measurement enables assessment of platelet regulatory processes between production and destruction rate. Thus, this measurement allows healthcare providers to make better decisions regarding patient disease assessment and management.
Keywords
