Abstract
Objective
 Plateletcrit (PCT) and mean platelet volume (MPV)
 are important platelet indices that are associated
 with various systemic and inflammatory disorders.
 The aims of this study are, first to determine normal
 ranges of PCT in a healthy population and second,
 evaluation of the possible link between blood groups
 and two platelet indices, PCT and MPV.
 Material and Method
 One thousand five hundred healthy subjects were
 chosen for the study from 2011 to 2021 retrospectively.
 Hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume,
 leukocyte count, leukocyte differentials, MPV, PCT
 and platelet counts were analysed.
 Results
 In 1082 subjects, the mean PCT count was 0.20±0.04
 % (min 0.11-max 0.46 %) and mean MPV was
 8.41±0.92 fL (min 6.20-max 11.90 fL). The mean
 PCT, MPV and platelet counts of the study group were
 found to be significantly higher in women than in men
