Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to calculate normal range of platelet count and to find relationship of platelet count and MPV with age and sex.

Methods: Prospective study was done on 202 people visiting haematology department of BPKIHS, 100 as cases and 102 as controls. Platelet counts and MPV was measured by 5-part haematology analyser.

Results: Results showed that platelet count is higher in females and young individuals while platelet volume is higher in elderly males.

Conclusions: Study shows that there is insignificant difference between platelet count and MPV between elderly population and young control.

Keywords: Platelets; Platelet count; Mean platelet volume
