newer platelets are bigger and better at clotting.

The statements are contradictory. First it says larger platelet volume is associated with more platelets being produced. Then it says abnormally large volumes correspond to too few platelets. The wording should be cleaned up by someone who knows more. Femtoamy (talk) 18:36, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction?

A typical range of platelet volumes is 9.7–12.8 fL (femtolitre), equivalent to spheres 2.65 to 2.9 µm in diameter. Normal range is given as 7.5-11.5 fL. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.37.73.176 (talk) 16:31, 2 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

153.2.246.31 (talk) 22:02, 3 March 2015 (UTC) I agree. What is a "typical" range, 9.7 -12.8, if the "normal" range is 7.5-11.5? I'd like to have an idea what a fairly standard reference range is for most labs that test, even if there isn't a universal agreed upon normal range. This doesn't help:[reply]

Source says the opposite of the article

"MPV is higher when there is destruction of platelets. This may be seen in inflammatory bowel disease,[2]" ...

The source in footnote no. 2 actually shows a relative *decrease* in MPV in Crohn's Disease patients, not an increase. 2601:282:8100:FF76:55F:90E3:73A0:B04A (talk) 04:05, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just read the article before looking at the Talk Page and noticed the incorrect content. I opened the source cited here, and it does in fact support what I have seen to be the case. The MPV is usually decreased in IBD. I am surprised no one had noticed that or had seen this comment since 2017. I will make the correction. Battykin (talk) 19:28, 20 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

infobox interventions

mean platelet volume is linked in wikidata to a LOINC code. THe idea is to put infobox to that effect. But current infobox diagnostic does not import stuff from wikidata. I propose to change that to infobox interventions. EncycloABC (talk) 19:03, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
