Large platelet ratio

Large platelet ratio (P-LCR) refers to the percentage of large platelets in the blood. Platelets are disc-shaped, ranging in diameter from 1 to 4 microns to 7 to 8 microns, and vary widely from individual to individual (5 to 12 cubic microns). Because platelets can move and deform, they appear polymorphic when observed by general methods.
