I am a healthy 33 year old. All lab work comes back fine in the last year and a half except for my MPV. My MPV is always high at 12.4. Should I be concerned about greater risk of heart attack and stroke. I am not on any meds and the only thing I have taken these last couple plus years is a total green protein shake that is high in vitamin K. Can this be causing this and should I be concerned?
Hello, High MPV could be related to vitamin B12 or folic acid deficiency. For this reason, I would recommend checking vitamin B12 and folic acid plasma levels. Regarding the supplement that you are taking, it does not seem to be related to these blood lab test changes. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
