Analysis of Post-Sample Collection EDTA Effects on Mean Platelet Volume Values in Relation to Overweight and Obese Patient Status.

CONCLUSIONS: K3-EDTA use alters platelet volume. The time from collection to measurement should be standardized to reduce MPV value variance. MPV should be determined within 1 h of collection to avoid anticoagulant use-related interference. PMID: 31189163 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
