What is it?

Mean platelet volume (MPV) measures the average size of your platelets. Platelets are small blood cells that stick together to make blood clots that stop or slow bleeding when you have a cut or injury. Platelets are made in your bone marrow and this marker can help diagnose bleeding disorders and diseases of the bone marrow.
