What is the reason for the low platelet distribution width

summary

Platelet distribution width usually has a normal range, but sometimes it is low. So what's going on? Now let's introduce the reasons.

What is the reason for the low platelet distribution width

First: the low distribution width of platelets, many of which are physiological reasons. For example, it is lower in the morning, higher in the afternoon, lower in spring, slightly higher in winter, higher in plateau area, higher after menstruation, higher after exercise, etc.

Second, there are two cases of low platelet distribution width, which can be divided into primary and secondary. Secondary may have obvious inducement, such as receiving chemoradiotherapy, or taking some drugs. But the primary cause is not very clear.

Third: if the distribution width of platelets is too wide, it is a sign of thrombocytopenia and coagulation dysfunction.

matters needing attention

For thrombocytopenia, nutrition should be guaranteed in diet. Eat more foods with high protein content and more foods with high vitamin content, such as fruits and vegetables, beans, seafood, etc.
