Question : Is an mpv of 5.9 a contra indicator for tooth extraction?
Brief Answer:
Yes, extraction should not be done.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Drcons thank you for consulting with XXXXXXX
This is Dr. Dipti Singh here to answer your query.
Mean platelet volume of 5.9 is low. It is a contraindication for extraction as it can cause excessive bleeding and other complications. You need to be evaluated and get MPV level treated first before going for extraction.
