Keywords:
Platelet indices, Platelet count, Mean platelet volumeAbstract
Abstract: The reference values of platelet indices for patients were determined using an automated blood cell analvzer, Coulter-STKS in King Chulalonckom Memorial Hospital. A total of 400 healthy subject in 4 diferent physiological status: male adult female adult, pregnant subject and elderly subjects were included in this study. The parameters included platelet count and mean platelet
volume. The reference ranges were established by setting the reference limits at two standard deviations from the arithmetic reference mean.
