Hello , Mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width (PDW) are calculations done by a machine ... A high number of large platelets (high MPV) in a person with a low platelet count suggests the bone marrow is producing platelets and releasing them into circulation rapidly. Also it could have been due to improper collection of blood by the phlebotomist. Hope it answered your query. Regards
