Mean platelet volumes: facts or artifacts?

Blood samples collected after venipuncture and skin-puncture from a series of ten healthy volunteers were used to determine platelet counts, mean platelet volumes (MPVs), and platelet distribution width (PDW). Measurements were performed on untreated venous whole blood and on whole or diluted sample...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Blood samples collected after venipuncture and skin-puncture from a series of ten healthy volunteers were used to determine platelet counts, mean platelet volumes (MPVs), and platelet distribution width (PDW). Measurements were performed on untreated venous whole blood and on whole or diluted samples, with or without anticoagulants. In this study, platelet indices were significantly different in untreated venous whole blood in comparison with blood from skin puncture and whole blood with anticoagulant.
