<p>cbc shows mpv 7.2 L range 7.4 - 10.4</p><p> </p>

Expert:  Dr. Grinman replied 4 years ago.

Ok thank you very much for that clarification. MPV is a measure of the size of your platelets which helps in blood clotting. If your total platelet count is normal then you have absolutely nothing to worry about. Be reassured that normal values vary slightly from person to person.
Hope this helps!
