Figure 3.11: PLT Data and Histogram
PLT Count
The Platelet count is derived from the PLT histogram after the PLT data
has been analyzed by the platelet algorithm. The PLT count is expressed
as follows:
PLT =# x 10
3
/µL
MPV
The Mean Platelet Volume (MPV) is derived from the PLT histogram
after the PLT count has been determined. The MPV is expressed in
femtoliters.
PCT
The Plateletcrit (PCT) is the product of PLT and MPV and is analogous
to the hematocrit. It is expressed in percent and is calculated as follows:
PCT = (PLT x MPV)/10
