PLT ranges for

Interpret your result

"Normal" lab range for PLT is between 150 and 400 x10^9/L:

150

400

According to Vinholt et al. (2016), PLT should be between 180 and 280 x10^9/L for males:

180

280

According to OptimalDX, PLT should be between 190 and 300 x10^9/L:

Optimal range

Optimal range for PLT appears to be between 200 and 300 x10^9/L:

150

200

550

Why this optimal range?

Preliminary range is based on functional health organizations including but not limited to those listed above.

Low PLT

Possible consequences from low PLT:

Increased risk for cancer
Platelet count 100-200 x10^9/L was associated with future cancer, adjusted HR = 1.28(95% CI 1.05-1.57).

High PLT

Possible consequences from high PLT:

Increased risk for all cause mortality and cardiovascular disease
Platelet count 301-450 x10^9/L was associated with mortality, adjusted hazard ratio (HR) =1.42(95% CI 1.06-1.90) and cardiovascular disease, adjusted HR=1.32 (95% CI 1.03-1.69).
