How does platelet distribution width low do

summary

During the blood examination, I found that the number of platelets was normal, the width of platelet distribution was low, the blood pressure was 47-70, the hemoglobin was low, and there were bruises all over my body. I couldn't tell whether it was normal or abnormal. So, what should we do if the platelet distribution width is too low?

How does platelet distribution width low do

First: high platelet can be caused by many conditions, most of which are physiological, such as low in the morning, high in the afternoon, low in spring, slightly high in winter, high in plateau area, high after menstruation, high after exercise, etc.

Second: the normal platelet content is 100-300, you are only slightly higher than the normal value, if other values are normal and there are no symptoms, generally there will be no problems. Only platelets participate in coagulation, higher value will increase the possibility of thrombosis. But if more than 400, it is common in myeloproliferative diseases.

Third: low hematocrit only means that the percentage of platelets in the blood is less. If the platelet count is normal, it is unnecessary to pay attention to the distribution width. Platelets in the blood routine are normal. White blood cell and red blood cell data are not provided and should also be in the reference range.

Fourth: the above phenomenon may be caused by improper blood collection, such as excessive tissue fluid, or poor bleeding, or spontaneous disease.

Fifth: low hematocrit generally indicates that the number of platelets is reduced or the volume of platelets is small. If the number of platelets is normal, and the volume of platelets is already small, it is likely to develop thromboasthenia. If it occurs, it is easy to find the bleeding point or cyanosis in the subcutaneous.

Sixth: for other indicators of blood routine are normal, then the platelet volume distribution width is not related to a little lower, this is to reflect the degree of platelet volume, if the platelet volume and count are normal, then this has no clinical significance.

matters needing attention

Thrombocytopenia, need further examination and laboratory tests to make a clear diagnosis, try to avoid trauma leading to bleeding. If other items of blood routine test are normal, only the deviation of the above two indexes is not significant.
