Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
7 – 11.5 fL

What does a low result mean?
Slightly smaller size is common and typically clinically neutral when overall platelet counts remain adequate.
What does a high result mean?
Slightly larger platelets reflect young, newly synthesized platelets indicating active marrow renewal.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Is this reassuring in conjunction with my overall platelet count?
- Does this need any specific evaluation?
- Can this be reviewed on my next routine panel?
