MPV means mean platelet volume. It measures the average size of platelets, the blood cells that help form clots. AI can explain the term, but a high or low MPV cannot diagnose a condition by itself and should be reviewed with the platelet count, other CBC results, symptoms, medicines, and the lab's reference range.
