Ah, I should correct myself then. HER answer seems consistent with what the number refer to :)
SJLD Oct 13, 2011:
S for Sue. As I've said before, someone as smart as me has to be a woman lol
nweatherdon Oct 13, 2011:
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/platelet cou... confirms that platelet count is usually 150-450k/microlitre, so that run up to 150-450 billion per litre ... so SJLD seems to be right on the ball with respect to what the number refers to. As for the meaning of the term DPM, I wouldn't say that I'm too sure, but his answer seems to be consistent with what the numbers refer to...
SJLD Oct 13, 2011:
The only possibility I can see here is the actual platelet count 228 GIGA/L (not grams/L)
dénombrement de plaquettes manuel?
Peter Bajorek (asker) Oct 13, 2011:
VPM = 8.6 fl (normal 7.0 - 9.0)
SJLD Oct 13, 2011:
OK, that's usually IDP.
What's the VPM result?
Peter Bajorek (asker) Oct 13, 2011:
The lab results don't give any indication of a hospital or country, but based on the client I got this from and the usual work I get from them, I was just assuming that it is from France.
At the moment I have CVPlaq as PDW (based on the fact that CVGR from earlier in the document = RDW)
SJLD Oct 13, 2011:
CVPlaq DPM These are not standard autoanalyser abbreviations. Which country is it? How are you translating CVPlaq?

dénombrement de plaquettes manuel

can't see what else it could be for a result of 228 giga/L >> 228 x 10*9/L
